MWA Final Report for the Sancta Maria School WASH Project
Project/Program Description
Eagle of Hope, Inc., a non-profit corporation with principal office at 8616 Lugano Road, Box 1004, Randallstown, MD 211333, under a subgrant from Millennium Water Alliance, Washington, DC, executed an agreement to build a fully-functional water and sanitation project, with a hygiene education component, at the site of the Sancta Maria School in Umuaka, Nigeria. Until this project’s completion, the school had no on-site supply of clean drinking water with washing stations or flush toilets. A building was constructed to house separate restroom facilities for men and women, for the use of teachers and children at the school. A borehole well had been previously completed by Eagle of Hope; this subgrant was to allow Eagle of Hope to conduct water testing in compliance with state standards, and to complete the facility and provide instruction on hygiene to teachers for use with students at the school.

Narrative Statement by EOH
On May 9, 2011, the tested water sample passed all parameters for inspection and was deemed as suitable drinking water within the Nigerian standard. I notified MWA who gave me permission to start the project. Prior to this time I had a meeting with the school committee and explained to them the budget to finish the project, they were grateful with MWA and Eagle of Hope for efforts in bringing them the WASH program in their school. On the final day, general sanitation and hygiene education in the use of adequate water for washing hands and cleaning up was taught to the school students, teachers, and staff. The principle of the school and the school committee thanked MWA and Eagle of Hope and signed off on the successful completion of the project.

MWA is re-vamping its website in August and early September, and will include a feature on Sancta Maria School project and The 3for5 Foundation’s critical assistance in completing it. The $10,000 provided by 3for5 Foundation was disbursed to Mr. Anadyke in two installments - $6,000 at the beginning of the second phase and $4,000 after the project’s completion.
