‘We have a population of 550 learners and water shortage has been our challenge in this school but with the drilling of the borehole the learners will not waste their time going to look for water covering long distances but now they will be in class. Academically the learners will be punctual and attentive in their classes. We have a massive gratitude to MozzartBet. The water project will also serve the communities around the school,’ said Sang.

she will no longer have to walk long distances to look for water which she carried on her back using 20 liter plastic jerricans.
