Funded New Projects

Posted on: 08/16/16

Thanks to local funding and the generosity of good people like you, new water tanks and all the necessary plumbing were installed at two Salesian vocational schools. This provided accessible clean water to the students and staff at these remote, isolated locations. In the past, they had to walk a long distance to carry water back to the schools. Due to the growing population of students, the schools now need an additional water tank and an upgrade to the water filtration system.

This project is located at 2 Salesian schools in the southeastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo*.

The total cost to complete phase 2 of project = $2,300.00
