Kawiya Community Day Secondary School in Kasungu district is set to enhance hygiene and sanitation with a K39 million solar-powered piped water system installed by the Sonder Project.
Country director Beria Michembo announced that the official handover will take place on October 24, 2024.
This system will significantly improve the sanitation of students, staff, and the local community, particularly benefiting girls with upgraded water facilities in their hostels.
The project aims to boost school enrollment by eliminating delays caused by water shortages. Additionally, three pipes will be allocated to the community to address water scarcity and encourage project ownership.
Since 2020, the Sonder Project has drilled 23 wells and installed two solar-powered systems in secondary schools, benefiting over 10500 people. They have also distributed 2154 textbooks to primary schools and are sponsoring 250 students in primary and secondary education.
