OUR SISTER SCHOOL: Cốc Ly 1 Secondary School
Bắc Hà, Vietnam
Bắc Hà, Vietnam
|
Students at Orcutt Junior High decided to choose Cốc Ly 1 Secondary School, located in Bắc Hà, Vietnam, as their benefiting sister school. Currently, there are 275 students attending Cốc Ly 1 Secondary School. Due to the difficulty in traveling through the mountainous, rural surroundings, most of the students who attend the school live on site a majority of the year. The boarding students also share their current drinking water source with the nearby primary school.
Currently, Cốc Ly 1 Secondary School lacks access to a reliable on-site source of water. The school currently gets the majority of their water from local springs. Cốc Ly 1 Secondary School harvests spring water and rain water on-site, but this water is not filtered. The school also struggles to provide enough safe drinking water for all the students, so they also rely on buying drinking water for students. It cost 300,000 vnd ( approx. $15 USD) per day. Gravity Water and Orcutt Junior High are working together to bring a 3,500 liter Gravity Water system to the school, which will provide them with a free, reliable, and daily source of safe water that is on-site and meets U.S. EPA-rated standards. Every $8 donated provides one child with safe drinking water.

Orcutt Junior High School's Clean Water Impact To Date
|
2021 Clean Water Campaign
Orcutt Junior High School’s 2021 Campaign brought clean drinking water to Nhieu Cu Van Primary School and Kindergarten, a school located in Bac Ha, Lao Cai, Vietnam. Without access to clean water, Nhieu Cu Van Primary School and Kindergarten was dependent on rainfall water, yet they had no means for storing it. Often the school's water source was contaminated by runoff from the hillside farming. Through the support from the 2021 Orcutt Junior High School fundraiser Campaign, Gravity Water worked with Nhieu Cu Van Primary School and Kindergarten and the Bac Ha, Lao Cai Community to install a rainwater harvesting system, which is providing the entire school of 140 students with a daily source of safe drinking water. |
