The water literacy campaign is running smoothly. Last week, we went to Dihwai Primary School, and the learners were so excited about testing water quality from their school tap.

the only issue was that we couldn't upload their results. 🤣🔥🔥🔥

Nyakallo’s first day with Tshireletso Primary School marked the beginning of an inspiring journey toward water literacy and environmental awareness. The Water Literacy Workshop, designed to educate young learners about the value of water and sustainable practices, created an engaging and meaningful experience for everyone involved.

From the moment we arrived at the school, there was a sense of excitement in the air. Curious to discover what the workshop would entailNyakallo’s first day with Tshireletso Primary was more than just a presentation , it was the planting of seeds for long-term environmental responsibility. The smiles, thoughtful questions, and active participation from learners showed that the message of water conservation had truly resonated.

we then concluded to test tap water from the school with the learners and they showed interest through out the session.

Indeed, day 1 was a success.

Day 2 is going well, Nyakallo is very fortunate to be a part of the community and organization exhibit. It is very important for communities to reclaim their narrative. No one tells a story than the person who has the experience of it.

Last week Wednesday we had the opportunity to test water at one of our high school which is Mosala Secondary School due to the request from one of our colleague as there were complaines from learners and educators complaining about stomachache.

what we found was that there was a high rate of chlorine, and as we know, a high rate of something leads to harm, even if it's healthy or important for our bodies. Chlorine is used to disinfect water and kill harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases such as typhoid fever and cholera.

we would like to thank the school for trusting us with testing their water and educating their learners on the importance of testing water regularly. we are hoping to continue working with the school and probably start water campaigns.

Most importantly, we give gratitude to Watercan for sponsoring us with their testing kits.
