PROJECT KICKOFF
We are excited to announce that construction on the Ndago-Muyange water system began on August 14, 2014. This community, located in Songa Colline, Bururi Province, had very limited water resources located several miles away from the area and the water there was contaminated.
This project will serve 2,200 residents when complete. And a big thank you goes to our generous donors who made another massive project in 2014 possible!
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Construction dates: August 14, 2014 - December 2014
Located in the Songa Colline, Bururi Province
Scope: 4.35km pipeline
5 cistern reservoirs
3 collection chambers
12 tap stands
Employees: 58, including masons and plumbers
Serves 2,200 residents
HOW IT WORKS
Water is captured from a source before it can become contaminated. It is filtered in the collection chamber and flows onward. Entrenched PVC pipe carries water to tanks, and to multiple tap stands. Tap stands are strategically positioned within easy walking distance to schools, churches, community centers and other central locations to maximize access points for residents. Water is available for free to all people regardless of the person’s tribe or religion.
