ECCA recently supported Shree Palanchok Bhagwati Secondary School of Panchkhal Municipality-09, Kavrepalanchok to improve its safe drinking water faciltiy by providing 10 stainless steel body water filters, each fitted with silver colloidal Tulip ceramic candles (capable of removing microbes and protozoas).

The school has 152 students studying from Montessori to class 12. Previously, the school was not able to provide disinfected drinking water for the school students during school hours. The school has one polythene tank for storing water and this tank is filled once a week. The school had no resources to purify the collected water. In such condition, some students had been carrying water from home in a bottle.

According to students and local people, the atmosphere of the place is often hot during school time. Due to this, the students feel more dehydrated and need more water. As the consequence, the school management had decided to run school during early hours (from 6 AM – 11 AM during summer).

The water filters provided by ECCA have been placed in each classroom. The students have voluteered to fill these water filter in their respective classroom each day; and hence, they can now easily have access to purified drinking water. All the students as well as teachers are now happy to have the water filter in their classroom and have committed to use it in proper manner. Total of 152 students and 13 teachers are currently benefitted with the support. Coordination with the school was done through a youth group called SOFIC Nepal.

ECCA is thankful for your continuous support.
