Water at Muzye School
As part of Big Give we funded this borehole so students no longer had to carry water from a dirty stream 2km away.
This was the most challenging borehole as it took our local rep Benedicto Hosea’s team 37 days to hand drill through hard rock, but these girls are so grateful they no longer have to waste many hours each day carrying water.
