Project 112, Donation. Cost: US$16,500 – Installation of a pipeline to provide Vanvani-Bolo village with 48 Households, in Vanj District, access to safe drinking water from a mountain spring located 5.3 kms away.
Funded by: Dhananis
Vanvani-Bolo Village
Pre-project Situation
The 48 household in Vanvani-Bolo village currently are using the water from the Vanj river as a source of the drinking water which is located 1 km away from the village.
The water in the river is not safe, as it can have a lot of microorganisms, that can serve as a cause of the infectious diseases. Since children more tend to drink the water without boiling it, they are the one that mostly get sick with diarrhea. The water gets muddy during Summer, as glaciers melt a lot during the hot weather, the water brings a lot of mud with it down to the river. In addition, it is very hard to fetch water during the winter, as it is unsafe to go down to the river, when it freezes around.
Project Scope
Installation of an insulated 63mm diameter polyethene pipeline
Expected Benefits
The project will benefit the villagers in following ways.
1) It will significantly reduce the number of infectious diseases spread amongst the residents of the village, specifically children.
2) It will give the opportunity to the villagers to practice sanitation and hygiene measures at a better level, without worrying of the availability of the water
3) The parents will have more time to prepare meals for their children
4) The children will have more time to spend on their studies and other activities
