Water relief for the Poorest of the Poor.

" WATER FOR LIFE "

Elsabe from Danville Help
officially receives the project
from DG Chris Pretorius

Our Club recognised the need for each household of the Andeon Community to have drinking water piped to their front doors.

A large portion of the fund was donated by a member of the community who wished to remain anonymous. The club donated the balance to fund the "Water for Life"  project.

The bore hole storage tank was equipped with a booster pump to feed the ring main. This pipe supplies stand pipes and taps at the occupants front door.

Ablution Block Upgrade

Water was plumbed into the ablution block and a new sewerage system was installed. The Club donated a new sewerage tank and the grey water was separated into an alternate closed septic tank .

Future Plans for the Andeon Community

Phase II - Irrigation System
Plans are in place to equip the 1 hectar arablel  land with a state of the art  irrigation system. This will enable the community to become self sufficient by growing vegetables. Food security will feed the community and other communities assisted by Danville Help.  Funds to be raised  R 15000

Phase III - Hot Water in the Ablution Block
The folk shower in cold water. Plans are in place to fit the ablution block with a basic hot water boiler. The "donkey boiler" will be fueled by wood or coal during the winter months.
Funds to be raised R 2000.

Phase IV - Bio Gas Generator
Through the collection of organic waste products - methane gas can be collected and used as a source of energy. This method is used very successfully in INDIA. The intention is to build a small scale pilot project to collect methane and use this energy to heat water.
Funds to be raised R 3000.

Total funds needed to complete these planned phases.     R 20 000
