The rooftop rain water harvesting structures will improve access of potable water for the school children of Tabrghanak and Obborda schools, especially during the dry season.
The goals of the construction are:
-To provide safe drinking water for school children and other staff in areas where other sources of drinking water are unavailable or difficult to access.
-To link fresh water to sanitation to reduce the incidence of water borne diseases.
-To provide a community based and more long term solution to the problem of drinking water.

Currently, both schools have water problems and minimal sanitation.

In each above mentioned school, Norwegian Church Aid will construct one underground stone masonry retaining wall storage tank covered with reinforced cement concrete slab. The size of the tank will be (5 X 4 X 3.5) m with storage capacity of 50,000 liters. Roof water can be collect in the storage tank through PVC pipes and one hand pump will be installed in storage tank for safe operation purposes. It will be implemented by one of NCA Partners working in that region with the contribution of the community and 2 barefoot
water engineers trained in the Barefoot College, India, in the construction phase.

One phase

In the remote inaccessible villages where schools, health and community centres are located especially in hilly,drought prone, tribal, coastal and desert regions where community involvement and contribution would be instantly forthcoming rooftop rainwater harvesting fro drinking and sanitation is the only solution.

Local people are trained to construct RWH strucutres in local material. It is an alternative of local income generation source and provision of sweet drinking water and sanitation.
