Project Narrative

Done in one phase

A committee has been formed to supervise the usage of the tank. This committee consists of 9 persons including the headmaster of the school, a teachers representative, the Project Manager of Safer Future YDP and several community members.
The major role of the committee is to guarantee the longest life time for the tank and its hand pump and also to educate the community and the students how to handle their new water suppliant, as well as treat the water when it is necessary.

Training of responsible people on how to treat chlorine the water and how to keep the well in good condition
