Refilwe Clean Water Project

Thank you for giving so freely to this project. You have made a tremendous improvement to the daily lives of all who live and are associated with Refilwe. Having given them hygienic sanitation, showers and a laundry, our next project is to improve their living conditions. Please read the attached update on this project.

We have also just posted our new project, Build a new life for 12 orphans in South Africa. (see link below) Please do take a look at our new project.

Again, thank you very much.

PENULTIMATE PROGRESS REPORT.

The rehabilitated ablution buildings, dry sanitation toilets,showers,laundry facilities and children's playground will go on show during the forthcoming"open day" May 10. Its a great rush to get it all finished by this date, but we are trying ! The exterior of the buildings have a new coat of paint. The interior is presently been painted. A wall plaque has been ordered to be displayed in a prominent position to express our heartfelt thanks to all our Globalgiving donors that made it possible to complete this very worthy project. Pictures of the open day will be displayed on our Globalgiving web-site ASAP after May 10 2007.

Thank you to you all.

Dr Brian La Trobe : Project Leader.

The photo below shows the roof of the female ablution block which has been sealed and painted with a black paint sealer. The black color of the roof surface and the black polyethylene pipe facilitates the absorption of radiant heat from the sun thus heating the water for the showers below. The length of the pipe approx 100 meters.
