Tinet is our most important and biggest project at EWB-BU. This project was just initiated a couple of years ago, and despite the pandemic, EWB-BU has made significant progress in bringing this project to the reality. The project consists of multiple water obtainment and cleaning systems at primary schools throughout the community.
Borehole well at Kapkeet Primary school
Rainwater catchment system at Sotiki primary school
Ongoing project at Ogiek Kwanza primary school
The first step in the project was planning. EWBBU made sure the right materials are selected as well as are available locally. Travel considerations take place too.
In this stage, EWBBU designs the whole project on paper. The members engage in making design drawing as well as creating CAD models. The project is being approved by the EWB-USA branch, and after approval the project is ready to be implemented.
In this stage EWB-BU implements their project. EWB-BU can travel to the site and or remotely implement the project. For our Borehole well Project, this stage included making a water source hole for future tanks and implementing solar panels for the power.
