Pits latrines and water harvest system built by WOCHIVI at Olkereyan Primary School in Arusha City

WOCHIVI has launched a new project at Olkereyan Primary School, focusing on the installation of a tank for a rainwater harvesting system. This initiative aims to provide a sustainable and reliable source of clean water for the school, addressing the ongoing challenges of water scarcity and improving the overall health and hygiene of students and staff. The rainwater harvesting system will collect rainwater from the school’s rooftops and store it in the tank, making clean water readily available for drinking, handwashing, and other daily needs. This project is a vital step toward ensuring that the school has continuous access to water, even during dry periods.
The addition of the rainwater harvesting tank aligns with WOCHIVI’s commitment to promoting sustainable development and improving the quality of education in local communities. By providing a dependable water source, the project helps to reduce disruptions to learning caused by a lack of water and supports better sanitation practices, ultimately creating a healthier school environment. Along with the installation of the tank, WOCHIVI plans to conduct educational sessions on the importance of water conservation and the proper use of the system, ensuring that students and staff can maintain and benefit from the initiative long-term.
This project at Olkereyan Primary School is part of WOCHIVI’s ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure in educational institutions and empower communities through practical solutions to everyday challenges. The rainwater harvesting system not only addresses immediate water needs but also serves as a model for sustainable practices that can be replicated in other schools and communities facing similar issues. Through this initiative, WOCHIVI continues to demonstrate its dedication to improving the well-being of children and creating lasting, positive change in Tanzania.
