Digging water tank base foundation

One of the three tank under construction by Kikandwa Rural Communities Development Organization (KIRUCODO) at Kibiribiri Church of Uganda Primary School to help over 350 pupils access safe and clean water. The current Rain Water harvesting Tanks installations is being supported by the funds accumulated from last year's Global Giving online winter holiday Fundraising Drive (http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/school-roofwater-storage-project-kikandwa-uganda/). Three tanks are currently being constructed at three rural schools. You can have a look at this facebook photo album to catch up with the current tank construction activities at the above mentioned school. We thank you all for your contributions and we lookforward for your continued support in this regard. God Bless you.
