In many rural communities, the simple act of fetching water can become a matter of life and death. For years, pupils at lake kapnarok primary had to walk to the lake kapnarok daily to fetch water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. That lake was also home to crocodiles.
Too many children were being bitten and injured while trying to get water for school. Fear kept some pupils at home, and learning was constantly interrupted.
Instead of asking children to risk their lives, the foundation launched a water piping project to bring safe water straight from the lake source to the school compound.
