Public Health - Sustainability & Impact

Solar-powered Well

A solar-powered well installed in 2013 on the GROW compound provides protected accessible water for the first time in this community of about 500 Tilling village families. A great deal of time and effort formerly used for collecting water is saved by the solar pump. Now women travel shorter distances for water and girls can attend school and get water conveniently after class.

Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) Latrines
