With funds raised in Canada during CPAR's World Health Day Challenge campaign, work is well underway at Haraa Primary School to construct two 30,000 liter rainwater harvesting tanks. The community has gathered local materials -- rocks, gravel and sand -- used in the construction activities, and community members are hard at work digging the pit for the Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrine to be constructed next. We delivered gutters to the school and met three boys carrying water, which is unusual and actually kind of refreshing since girls are normally sent off on this grueling chore. Both teachers and students are looking forward to having water on site.
