Following on from a geological survey in December 2024, this month our committee approved funding for a borehole at Msimba Secondary School, which will share the supply with nearby Sokoine Primary School, ensuring both schools and the surrounding community have reliable access to clean, safe water.

The Headteacher has a strong environmental focus and students at the school are actively engaged in rabbit and chicken projects. However, until now water has been piped from a private school at high cost.

This borehole will supply both schools as well as the surrounding community, reducing their dependence on a costly private water supply and supporting school-led agricultural and environmental initiatives.

This application is led by Hope of the Community Foundation, one of our trusted partners founded by local rep Evelyn Leonard, who has also overseen a contract between the two schools, clearly defining responsibilities for repairs, roles, and cost-sharing.

We look forward to receiving updates about this two-for-one water project!
