Project: Poteru School

Poteru is a small town of 3,000 people, the largest community in Barri Chiefdom, and the residence of the Paramount Chief. It was poorly served for wells considering the size of the population, and the river water is contaminated.

Poteru School is a large school of 600 students on the outskirts of the town. The school had a well but the pump was broken, so this was replaced with an India Mark 2 pump.

(March 2015) The well is now working satisfactorily.
