Project Description Region: Africa Country: South Africa Location: District 9370 Total Budget: $59,162 Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene To provide safe clean water for sanitation and drinking purposes for the children and minders, (guardians), helpers of iKhethelo Children's Village - previously known as Makaphutu Children't Village in the rural areas bordering Ethekwini in Kwazula Natal, South Africa. The Village consists of a number of homes, each of which houses a number of orphans plus a minder, (guardian), who feeds and cares for them. The village also arranges their clothing and schooling, etc. The Village also serves as a key training centre and hub for the local community and their NGO's. Water is required for consumption and sanitation purposes. The existing system is both erratic, with consistent breakdowns in the supply pipeline which is detrimental to the children's health and well being.
