Borehole for Olifants River Parish - Limpopo, South Africa

In May 2015 the Management Committee approved a grant of €7,000 for a borehole with pumping machine, water tanks and water purification system to supply clean water for the parish, crèche and neighbouring households which are located in this very poor rural area of the province of Limpopo.

The main objectives of the project, apart from providing access to clean water, were to help reduce cases of illnesses which were often linked to the drinking of unclean water and to alleviate the suffering of families around the village who previously had to go so far in to the bush to fetch mostly dirty water.
