Report on the progress of the borehole from Project Share  The borehole project at Project Share in Gushegu, Northern Ghana is progressing well.

The borehole was then mechanised using a submersible pump, and the site fenced for security. The borehole was sunk just a few metres off our land close to our staff quarters (with the land owners permission),…

From LUNCH4LEARNING

LUNCH4LEARNING (UGANDA) Project: To build 5 new water tanks each with a 10,000 litre capacity for schools to harvest rainwater.

In at least one of the schools that will be targeted for this project, the nearest water source is 2 kms away and that has proved a deterrent to attending school. We are confident that having water on site will also have a…
