Rural Aid Water Project

Community water and Sanitation project

Due to the capital intensive nature of constructing boreholes, which we the staff of CLICAF are in most cases unable to fund, we focused mainly in other means of provision of potable water to these unfortunate populates of the deprived communities such as:

(a) Provision of water storage facilities in form of concrete tanks and poly tanks

(b) Mechanizing existing pods/dams to make them potable for drinking. And

(c) Construction of new wells at places where the water table is high enough to support.
