December 2025: Putting gutters and a water tank at 4 mud houses of our students

Go to the Bonde project

The houses of 4 students we are sponsoring got gutters and their watertank installed

Besides installing gutters and water tanks at the houses, we had planned to finish the rainwater catcher at our model agricultural field. But since the wood we ordered in advance was stolen at the handler’s place, we had to order new wood. This wood must first dry properly. We will continue this job in February.
The wooden support for the water tank of 1000 litres, which we constructed last time, shows us that it is not strong enough. We replaced it with a brick support.
The watertanks we placed now all have brick supports. The durability will be much better.

First, saw the uneven beams of the roof evenly, to mount a plank on them for the gutters
