The Situation
The Chevalier Training Center is a vocational institute for the underprivileged youth of Fiji.
It gets supply of water from a nearby river. After heavy rainfall, the water is too murky for drinking and carries water- borne diseases.
School management reported students falling ill from ‘drinking the dirty water’.
A water treatment system was investigated in 2015.
This project design will include gravel filtration and a chlorination unit that will significantly improve the water quality. The chlorinated water will be stored in a tank as part of the distribution system. The capacity of the treatment system is around 40m³ per day.
This project was made possible with funding from the Vodafone ATH Foundation and additional support from Rotary clubs.
