A short summary of your project
Access to water , we believe is a human right. ROHR Southampton is raising money to give the children of Mutare Junior School the opportunity to have fresh clean water access via a borehole in their school.
Our goal is to raise £2500/ U$3685 to drill a borehole.
Who are you?

Your story
Did you know that the current water and sanitation crisis in Zimbabwe places millions of residents at risk of water-borne disease? That's more than 5 years after cholera killed over 4,000 people and sickened 100,00. As a Zimbabwean & human rights activist i believe this is not right & that together we can change this.
ROHR believes in the global mission to bring about the respect of human rights, the rule of law and democracy. We advocate, defend and promote human rights in all countries through non-violent means. We firmly believe in human rights and basic freedoms to all peoples of the world as enshrined in international law.
If you believe every child should have access to clean water, then help us Give Mutare Junior High the chance to have a local borehole. It will allow the community to tackle some of the health issues associated with poor sanitation & live healthier, happier lives
Where will the money go?
if we are successful in meeting our initial target we will begin a 'borehole survey' to find the most appropriate place to drill. Further we will initiate a full chemical water analysis of the borehole is obtained and the customer is provided with a cost to treat the water to meet current drinking water regulations.
We have established communication with Bio aqua-vitae in bulawayo, A borehole drilling company who will begin working on this as soon as we put a 50% deposit
We are hoping things will really take off and if we raise more than your target we plan to use the extra finances in digging even deeper to access more water & in the supply and installation of well heads. The purpose built poly sump man hole chamber we install over the head of the borehole will allow easier access to the borehole and protect it from contamination.
We will give regular Monthly updates on the progress of our fundraising & on the progress on the construction at key
