Safe drinking water in School 734 Ejercito de los Andes, in Lote 3, Pampa Chica, Province of Chaco

By Guillermo Donaire | President

Safe Water 1
Safe Water 1

Dear friends, we are happy to share with you the successfully implementation  of  the equipment needed for the extraction and distribution  of safe drinking water in School Nº 734 Ejército de los Andes, in Lote 3, Pampa Chica, Province of Chaco. 

The school has 57 students in the kindergarten level and 110 in the elementary level who are the directly  impacted by this improvement as well as their families who also benefit from the access to the water.  

Contaminated water is a severe problem in schools of the province of Chaco because it hinders healthy childhood development and it produces extreme malnutrition in children. 

The installation of a water extraction pump in the existing water well to transport water to a water tank and the pipes in order to distribute and supply water to the school bathrooms and kitchen is key to the school and community. This process was previously carried out by hand  using buckets to extract the water and bring it to the bathrooms and kitchen; such procedure compromised water cleanliness and quality at the time of consumption or usage for hand or food washing . 

The bathroom toilets were fixed and as well as the kitchen sink which is a great improvement of health conditions. Next week the piping system to provide water to the vegetable garden will be completed. 

The completion of this project complements the key role of the teachers and directors in rural schools who take care of the academic aspects as well as a proper nutrition. 

Thanks to everyone who took part in this project by trusting our foundation to be the liaison between you and the children who need your generosity by continuing to improve the quality of life of those children who need it the most. 

We'd like to invite you to visit our website www.sumandomanos.org to learn more about our projects in 100 rural schools, feeding centers, foster homes and low income communities throughout 15 Argentine provinces. We reach these children through different medical, nutrition and education programs.

Queridos amigos,

Queremos compartir con ustedes que  hemos terminado en forma exitosa el proyecto para extracción y distribución de agua potable para la  escuela Nº 734 Ejército de los Andes. Lote 3, Pampa Chica. Chaco.  

La escuela cuenta hoy con 57 alumnos en jardín de infantes y 110 en nivel primario que se ven directamente beneficiados por la obra, así como indirectamente sus familias.

El problema del agua contaminada es un tema crítico en las escuelas de la provincia del Chaco, lo que imposibilita el sano desarrollo de los niños y genera problemas extremos de desnutrición,

A través de la instalación de un motor para la extracción del agua del aljibe, puesta en funcionamiento del tanque cisterna y  de las cañerías para la distribución y abastecimiento del agua,  ahora  la escuela puede disponer de agua potable en baños y cocina, y así, reemplazar el proceso anterior que se realizaba a través de la extracción manual y acarreo a pie con baldes, que además comprometían la calidad del agua que sería consumida por los niños. 

La obra incluyo el arreglo y puesta en funcionamiento de los baños que estaban en desuso y la cocina, y de esta forma, también se mejoran las condiciones de higiene, tanto de los niños, como también para el lavado de los alimentos que son consumidos por ellos. (Próximamente se completara el sistema de cañería para el riego de la huerta)

Esto complementa rol clave de los(as) maestros(as) y directores(as) en las escuelas rurales, ya que  sirven de contención a los niños, y les garantizan que reciban su alimentación diaria. 

Gracias a todos los que participaron y gracias por confiar en nuestra organización para que sea el enlace entre ustedes y los niños que necesitan de su generosidad, así continuar mejorando la calidad de vida de los niños que más lo necesitan.

Los invitamos a visitar nuestro sitio en Internet  www.sumandomanos.org y conocer en más detalle sobre los proyectos de ayuda, alimentación, nutrición y educación que realizamos en alrededor de 100 escuelas rurales, comedores infantiles y barrios carenciados, en 15 provincias de ARGENTINA.
