Anything but boring – a borehole for Tikondane

Exciting news! The borehole and 5000 litre water tank has been built and is in use. As a result, Tikondane, the centre for street children we have supported for many years, now has access to all the clean and drinkable water they need. Before this, they were frequently unable to access enough water to cater for the large numbers of children at the transit shelter.

The watertank and borehole structure when it was near completion.

Through your generosity, they now have everything they need for washing, cleaning, the children’s demonstration vegetable garden, and making briquettes for cooking. And they no longer have to pay expensive water bills!

When Sister Marie provided her final report confirming the completion of the project, she shared “The borehole project is a very big gift for us as organization and for the children in particular. Having a borehole water supply system in our transit shelter will help save money from the high water bill,  and reduce or curb the shortage of water supply. Thus,  we can carry out our daily activities harmoniously without much restraining. Thank you very much for your generosity and your love for vulnerable children that we support at Tikondane.”
