Chief Mnukwa spoke with us a couple months ago expressing his concern for Mnukwa Clinic that had a faulty water tank. The clinic itself had been fitted with a first class solar bore hole along with a 10,000 litre tank and up until a couple months ago, things were working quite well. However, as some of the supporting boards began the rot, the massive tank began to move and ended springing a leak. This leak resulted in a lack of usable / clean water for the clinic and the residents in the area.
We had some left over funds from a previous clinic project and thought it a great benefit to provide clean water... so, we finally found the time necessary to get this project moving forward and thankfully finished (well, almost). We were not able to locate a new 10,000 litre tank but were able to purchase a 5,000 litre tank which is still plenty of water! As always, this project moved forward mostly in part to the hard work of Dan and Micah Jalowiec. Hats off to their hard working character and get it done attitude!
