The 10,000 liter-tank was given to the school during a ceremony that took place yesterday.
The Director of ICT in MTN Rwanda,Viateur Mugenzi said that they selected the school because it usually suffers water shortage related effects, a common problem in Eastern Province.
“When we want to support people, we discuss with local government leaders to find out the priority. That is why we gave them a water tank which would help during water scarcity period, they told us that this region frequently faces water shortage problems,” he said
He said as part of the 21 Days of Y’ello Care, MTN Rwanda has committed to perform different activities including distributing computers to different schools, constructing bridges and classrooms to schools with congestion problems.
G.S Murama Headteacher, Pilate Ntagarurwa hailed the donation saying that they usually face water scarcity problems especially in the summer. He said that it will help them improve sanitation.
“We are happy to receive this water tank because we usually face water shortage problems during sunny period, I hope that it will facilitate us in ensuring hygiene because we have school feeding programmes, where we need to use enough water in sanitation,” he said.
