Project 24: Warung Bingung, INDONESIA
SDN 04 Sukahurip and SDN Sukahurip 03 is a combination of two schools located in Warung Bingung Village, where the local villagers make a living as grocers, agricultural laborers, and by selling cakes. The source of water for the school comes from a well, while the water sources in the community come from wells and rivers that are next to the homes in the village, which are used for washing dishes, bathing, along with washing vegetables and fish. Due to a lack of knowledge around water-health and hygiene, many problems such as skin disease and diarrhea often occur.
This school is in dire need of access to clean water as the well water is very salty and contaminated. To meet the needs for drinking and cooking, some residents look to the school to provide access for this, whch the new AquaTower will now provide.
"Hopefully, with access to clean water in the school, students can learn and focus on being a healthy and smart generation.”
- Ram Ram M.mPD, School Headmaster
