Team Rwanda completed our project yesterday! After almost 2.5 weeks of materials buying, design tweaking, problem solving, and fun-filled days with the 130 orphans at the L'Esperance Orphanage in Kigarama, Rwanda, we are happy to show you the final product.
Above, you can see the children surrounding one of the six tap stands we installed. Each tap stand will be used to irrigate a portion of the tree nursery, which will allow these trees to be grown year round, sold to the local community, and produce a profit to better support these children. In the background, you can see the 2 AfriTanks we installed. These supply extra water, which is pumped up for a small stream 300 meters downhill. We are really pleased with the final product and will continue to monitor its functioning.
Still to come: personal reflections, side projects, and more! Stay tuned!
