Technology Used:

The project in order to get water accessible to the 250 small children of Kaptengok nursery school will harvest roof catchments rain water. The school whose roof is made of normal Iron sheets is suitable for this.

To make it possible for the roof catchments rain water to be harvested and stored the project will put gutters on the school roof and construct 10,000 litres Ferro cement water tank .
The school is also expected to teach the children our to maintain hygiene in handling the water.

Strategy for follow-up
The staff from the implementing organization will the school frequently as they live and work in the same community the school is located.

Phases:

The project administration.
The project will be planned, implemented and monitored by the Pastoral Community staff in partnership with the beneficiary community. The school is also expected to teach the children on how to maintain hygiene in handling th

Community Organization:

The community will be mobilized and trained for to see and understand the need of harvesting roof catchments rain water , to enable their children access clean drinking water. And for the children to learn un interrupted as the water source will be very near. The community will be mobilized to contribute locally available resource that includes i.e. sand, ballast, and stones for the construction of the tank. This type of tank is durable and can easily be constructed and would not cost much since some of the materials needed, can be locally found unlike plastic tank which can only be purchased in Kitale town which is 70 Kilometres away. The plastic tank would be very expensive to buy and transport. Children can not also easily prick and spoil Ferro cement tank like they would do to the plastic tank during the playing and adventuring learning. Additionally the community with support of technician women (the project leader) who was trained during African women and water workshop in Nairobi in 2008 will construct the tank. This in essence will be a very sure way of transferring technology to the community members who will use it , to benefit their families and the community at large .
The project will be planned, implemented and monitored by the Pastoral Community staff in partnership with the beneficiary community. The school is also expected to teach the children our to maintain hygiene in handling the water.
