Challenge
Issue: Mukhwayo Primary School, and the surrounding community, relied on a faulty hand pump system. This unreliable method provided inconsistent and insufficient water, impacting the hygiene and daily operation of the school.
Need: To replace the outdated manual system with a reliable, efficient, and clean water system that could sustainably serve both the educational institution and the local residents.
Solution
Action: Geo Blue Engineering was commissioned to conduct a focused upgrade of the existing water infrastructure.
Execution:
System Upgrade: The unreliable, faulty hand pump was removed.
Equipping: The borehole was upgraded and equipped with a reliable water system (implied to be an electric or solar pump) to ensure consistent, high-volume water supply.
Simplicity: The focus was on making a simple, impactful improvement to guarantee long-term functionality.
Outcome
- Impact: The project delivered a “simple improvement” that translated into a “lasting impact” by securing a steady supply of clean water.
- Beneficiaries: The upgraded system now provides clean water to over 900 students at Mukhwayo Primary School, as well as the surrounding community.
- Result: Enhanced health, improved sanitation, and greater convenience for the students and residents through a newly reliable water system.
