We are delighted to showcase the wonderful new drip-irrigation system installed at Guzha Primary School. Linked up to their reliable water supply this will quite literally drip feed the crops needed to put nutritious meals on the school’s tables. It took two days for the engineers to complete the work and led to much excitement from the students to the Head Teacher. Their onward responsibilities include making liquid fertilizer and ensuring the compost pile matures well. We have also handed over lots of tools including hoes, forks, rakes and watering cans for those crops not covered by the drip system. The school also elected to build their own grass fences to help protect their produce from wild animals and roaming livestock.
Over at Dandara Primary School things are also progressing nicely. The chicken house has been built and the chickens arrived. Once settled in the chickens should lay one egg each per day, giving the student’s a huge boost in their protein intake. In addition to this they’ve been busy growing cabbages and have shown a diligent commitment to farming well.
We’re delighted that things are going so well but with great success comes the responsibility to deliver these projects in an excellent way and to find the remaining funding it will take to do so. Please helps us and thank you!
