Mbooga Clinic 2017 Update

After the failures in 2016 to find water by drilling, our advisors recommended a large rainwater harvesting scheme and work began in summer 2017. When I visited in September the walls of the 50,000 litre tank had been built and were ready for the domed roof .

This has now been completed and the tank passed its 'leak test'. The guttering and connection from the large roof of the adjacent primary school were completed and the tank became operational just in time for the autumn rains.

The clinic is also benefiting from a government award for 'good performance'.
We saw work in progress tiling the floor and walls of some rooms, making them much easier to keep clean and hygienic.
