INTRODUCTION
St. Mary’s Girls’ Secondary School, situated in Kawambwa District of Luapula Province, in Mansa Diocese, was built in the early years of 1960s and due to its old age, the water supply system has deteriorated. For some time the school depended on the hand pump situated inside the school boarding and the girls depended on the same hand pump to fetch water for drinking, bathing and washing.
The learners used to report late for school programs because of the long queues at the only borehole that the school had. Fortunately, Beit Trust came to the rescue of the school and gave a grant of K 215,702.60, (£10,300).
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT.
- To promote school health and easily accessible water supply.
- For maintaining the school surrounding and the school garden.
- Saves time and effort in fetching water.
- To provide a reliable and cost effective means of supplying water for use in school.
- The borehole has helped to reduce on issues of girls washing and bathing from outside.
The grant received has enabled us to replace some old water pipes in one of the ablution block. Therefore, your assistance to sink a borehole for our girls has enabled the school to create a more conducive environment for our girl child in school.
CONCLUSION
We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for this work of charity to you. We further look forward to more of such gestures of helping us and shall ensure the donations received are utilised as intended.
