This project was initially for Ferry Banda Sirma and Masampa. Their negative response to its implementation led us to the decision to relocate it to Mile 38 / Magbontoso. This school is among the schools in the proposal for the "Creation of 3 underground Rainwater tanks in the rural community schools of Port Loko District". That's also why initially only a 100,000 liters capacity tank was planned. Due to the fact that this school is serving two nearby communities with a large population we considered a construction of a 150,000 liters tank. An additional amount was transferred from the proposed Ferry Banda Sirma/Masampa tank and Community Center project to be able to finance the enlargement. The tank is completed, the pump and collectors are there, but not yet fixed. It will soon be completed and ready to use. (See pictures attached)

To have a better understanding of the attitude of a people and their constraints together. Some people could be in dire need of assistance but are reluctant to cooperate in receiving the favour.
