Dear MWATF,

Great to have you back on PWX! Your project is aimed to serve "250 POOR SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS AT LOCATION IN MUKONOTOWN COUNCIL," but the details of the background and their need are missing. What is this location? Why do the children need the storage tank? What is their current water source? Also, what is the current water source for the 50 HOUSEHOLDS in Wakiso Nansana?

Thank you for clarifying this,

Annette

KIGOMBYA LOCATION in Mukono is particularily Water Stressed, residents trave upto 3 kilometres to fetch Water from Swamps and occassional Water Pools shared by Livestock-Goats, Cattle, Pigs, among others thus the Water is polluted, Children equally waste lots of precious time Collecting the Water instead of going to Schools, equally parents and Guardians fear Child Sacrifice common in the Uganda these Days whereby several Kids are abducted and found Dead by Traditional Healers and Devil Worshipers, the Project is good for the Community.

How to Guarantee Rain Water is Safe?

From what you report, earlier rainwater harvesting resulted in unclean water. Do you plan to use the PML to test the water once it's in the ferro-cement tank? Will you be encouraging people to try solar pasteurization rather than boiling the water, having to use more scarce wood resources? Do you think there will be enough water caught to serve the needs of 250 kids? What is their water source now?

I would like to know if the first tank has been built ( your initial seed grant) and how it is meeting the need you projected. Sorry to hear that you were having computer problems today. I hope someone can help you with local internet. I look forward to hearing back from you. All the best. Jan

THE First FERROCEMENT TANK was successfully built, however the cost was much higher than originally budgetted for we then had to immediately mobilize local resources to meet the goal. We used the Solar Pasteurization of the Water technologies to demonstrate with amazing results, this time we intend to fully promote it for wider usage, we are working out proposal for the POTABLE SOLAR WATER TESTING KIT and expect to promote this technology at higher more sustainable levels in Uganda.
