 (2) Isukamahela school 2009 – A 40,000 liter rainwater harvesting tank, constructed with  concrete, circular with a cone shaped top. Wire mesh lining with wood posts for support and a built in overflow pipe. PVC roof guttering funnels the rain water into the tank. A tap/faucet at ground level with a sunken basin for accessing water.

 (3) Kwihala school 2009 – A 20,000 liter rainwater harvesting tank. The design is the same as the one at Isukamahela school, (above). Wood posts used for support inside the tank as seen below, propped up on the outside of the tank and on the ground ready for use. Everything , including ladders to get into the tank is built on site.

  (4) Kwihala Village 2009 – 18′ shallow hand dug well community project. Constructed in the same way as the well at Inonelwa Village. 

 (5) Kitete school 2011 – A 20,000 liter rainwater harvesting tank. The design is the same as the one at Kwihala and Inonelwa schools.
