Drinking status

Gaoyu Elementary School has 42 students. It has no water supply. There is a reservoir in the village which is 200 meters away from school. The students have to fetch water from this reservoir.

Gaoyu village is lack of water due to its high altitude. More than 400 people in the village have to share one well, so water resource is limited. The village reservoir is dry during fall and winter. People then have to go to another well which is farther away and can only collect less than half ton of water in 24 hours.

The village and the school are both very interested in water diversion project. This project not only benefits the school, it also brings more water to the village. The balance of GUI0904 funding shall be used to purchase materials and pay for the skill labor charges. The villagers will devote their labor for non-skill tasks like digging tunnels and burying pipes.

News paper report

CTEF launched the project to help children in six Guizhou schools with their winder clothings and beddings.

In Feb 2009, we purchased 77 blankets, bedsheets and many winter clothes.  We also bought sport clothings that can be used as school uniforms for all seasons.  It took 3 days to ship the packages to a small country town in Guizhou. On a Friday evening, the teachers from surrounding schools arrived the town to pick up the packages. Students started sleeping with the new beddings over the weekend.
