Cooperation for development

DONKERBOS PRIMARY SCHOOL & HOSTEL

Pupils that live in Donkerbos Primary School & Hostel had to walked 6 kilometers to the nearest bore hole for water supply. They were rationed to two glasses of water a day and they bathed in rain water in a plastic tub.

These conditions affected their health, and some had to attend to a hospital for illness. Toilets and showers were built years ago in Donkerbos Primary School & hsotel, but they couldn’t use it as there was no water supply. At Kalahari coffee we wanted to help improve that situation, that’s why we are grateful to contribute to building a solar bore hole (one near the school and the second 450 meters into the bush) that produce more than 15800 liters of water per hour.

 

PROVISION OF A SOLAR POWERED BORE HOLE

The bore hole will be very helpful to the community, it will supply water to the school, dormitory, and surrounding residents of the settlement.

With a good working water irrigation system, the garden can provide sufficient vegetables that can be used in the hostel kitchen to provide additional nutrition in the children’s meals.

Global Coffee Industries is also member of Sedex, one of the world’s leading ethical trade membership organisation,  working with businesses to improve working conditions in global supply chains.

It is a globally recognized, innovative and effective supply chain management solution that helps reduce risk, protect company reputations, and improve supply chain practices.
