Setting Up The New Water Tanks

Our nursery team has set up our new water tanks, and we’re excited about having steady nourishment for our nursery seedlings. Each water tank gets a strong base, so it can’t be moved. Our nursery team also adds piping to reinforce their stability and secureness.

Water is the biggest challenge for growing trees. But these tanks gradually fill up at night, so the next day, our nursery team has enough water to care for every plant and seedling in our nursery.

New Watertank

The water pipe is fixed and the villages are getting water again. However, the water is at trickle during the day and our Nursery Manager Enel has been getting up several times in the middle of the night when it flows well, to change the water pipe and fill the different drums.

Enel needs to get enough rest, so thanks to some donations we were able to purchase a storage tank. The tank will serve the 10,000 seedlings in our nursery well, and at times, we will also be able to give our neighbors some clean drinking water from this sealed tank. It’s a big expense but well worth it as we work on our goal of 100,000 trees for 2022.

Rosnie couldn't be more thankful for the new water tank that just arrived. Making sure every tree in the nursery gets just the right amount of water isn't an easy task, especially when our water supply is low, but Rosnie has kept our seedlings healthy and alive for over a year now.

Now we no longer have to use our motorcycle for multiple trips to the spring or preserve water so that seedlings only get a few drops each. With the new water tank, Rosnie will connect the hose and easily water the seedlings twice a day.
