WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
Every $50 fundraised at the 2019 Global 6K For Water provides clean water that lasts for one person. 100% of funds raised during this event goes to World Vision’s Water Projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). World Vision has identified these issues and have since committed to allocate the 2019 Global 6K funds towards the following projects in the Menkao community:
- Construct 4 wells with water treatment and distribution system that will be built in Menkao center to reduce the waiting time and distance to collect water.
- Establish and train 4 Drinking Water Management Committees on maintenance, sustainability and financial management.
- Train 10 community members on manual and electric pumps repair.
- Construct latrines in schools: 3 VIP latrine blocks with disabled access and menstrual management rooms will be set up in 3 primary schools to enable them to reach the recommended ratio of 40 girls per latrine and 50 boys per latrine door.
- Construct hand-washing stations: a rainwater harvesting system will be built in each school and each latrine will be equipped with a hand-washing system with a tap.
These projects will impact the lives of 13,834 people through three communities
