More good news a water-bore hole committee has been formed.
During her visit in October 2013 Rev Nicky Teverson, trustee of SEEDS4Tanzania visited the District Water Engineers office to sign in and pick up Mr Mazola the Engineer, who joined her to visit The District Commissioner and President of Mpwapwa. Both were required to hear the request to install a water bore hole and give their blessing.
She then travelled to
Nhyinila where the bore hole is to be situated and met with Pastor Festo, his elders and community who were gathered under
the tree by the Chapel. Four hours were spent hearing introductions, the
school building project details and the water engineer empowering the people to
take ownership of the water project. As a result a water committee was elected
and an allowance towards the survey started. The people one by one pledged an
amount of money by offering to sell their chickens and cow and other
provisions; by the end of the afternoon they had raised 415,000 TS. The aim is
to raise £1000 by January to pay for the survey and then they will have some
idea of the cost of the hole.
Photographs
were taken of the school buildings and a summary was given to Nick outlining
what has been achieved and what still needs to be done.
