The annual harvesting capability of theWaterbank secondary school campusis in excess of two million liters of water - remarkable in a semi-arid region. The Waterbank buildings provide clean drinking water to the students and irrigation to the conservation agriculture plots that criss-cross the campus.
Other buildings on the campus include a Waterbank dormitory for girls, a Waterbank canteen and Waterbank latrines. These are all building prototypes developed by the nonprofit PITCHAfrica to meet essential water needs while addressing fundamental issues including sanitation, nutrition, gender equality and health.
