AECI Eco-Schools Water Education Project Report 2020

much water. This was a vital lesson for learners living in the water scarce area. We developed field implementation guidelines for each school. This has assisted us in ensuring the objectives and outcomes are met. It was also used as a monitoring and evaluation tool. This will help us in strengthening what works and redirect what doesn’t work in the schools. Importantly we can keep track of the challenges, achievements, lessons learnt and evaluate the theory of change in action.

In March, as part of the Improchem conference and water week celebration, Improchem Engineers were scheduled to provide a guided tour of the water filtration plants on Phalesane Primary School. WESSA’s role was a spekboom planting and education programme for delegates of the conference. The event was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. The spekboom planting has since been postponed to early next year.

All of the schools has food gardens.
