On the 17th of June 2009 the Village Solution project in the village of Elomoya 2 was inaugurated. During the ceremony Nkosi Sam Zulu officially opened the safe drinking water site on behalf of the local population.
The ceremony, held in the local school, was attended by regional leaders and government representatives, as well as many of the local families. In a fully packed school hall speeches by the various guests were combined with exhilarating Zulu dancing and singing by the children. The entire day was a remarkable event that underlined the importance of the safe water provided by the project to the local population. Particular appreciation was shown for the donors who provided the funds and Patti Joshua of CBO Network - without whom the project would not have been possible. Mrs Joshua and the CBO Network have been invaluable partners for QuaWater on both the Elomoya 1 and 2 projects, and we look forward to a continued cooperation and more successful projects in the future! After the ceremony QuaWater presented Patti Joshua with an AquaDoc UV device, to provide safe drinking water to the people in the office of the CBO Network in Eshowe.
The Village Solution of Elomoya 2 has now been providing safe drinking water to the village for over 6 months. The project site has been finished beautifully, and vegetable gardens have been planted around it.
