Rehabilitating the Bonugo borehole
RCDI worked with FCT RUWASSA to assess and rehabilitate the community borehole. The report describes unreliable flow and inconsistent quality before the intervention, and records technical water-quality verification following rehabilitation. The facility serves more than 1,000 people in Bonugo and surrounding settlements.
Water-quality verification reference: FCT/RUWASSA/WS/CWS/RT/126.
Household water-purification support
Approximately 30 households received support and practical education on clean containers, safe storage, water handling, preventing recontamination and household hygiene. The report describes prioritising families with young children, older people and other vulnerable members.
Building young WASH champions
School WASH Clubs continued practical learning in handwashing, water safety, sanitation, menstrual health, environmental responsibility and peer leadership. Students were encouraged to share learning with their households and communities.
Menstrual Hygiene Day in Kwali
On 30 May 2026, RCDI organised a ThriveFlow gathering at Ladi Kwali Hall in Kwali Town. More than 600 people participated, including women, girls, traditional and faith leaders, government representatives and community members. Intergenerational conversations connected menstrual-health knowledge with WASH education.
Community partnership
The report describes engagement with Footstool Estate Limited, FCT RUWASSA, traditional leadership, education authorities, women’s groups and faith-based community institutions. Technical assessment, water-quality testing and local consultation supported the interventions.
What we know—and what requires further measurement
Household visits and community discussions recorded reports of reduced travel to unsafe sources, greater hygiene awareness, fewer childhood diarrhoea episodes and improved school attendance among some participants. These are community-reported outcomes, not findings from formal clinical or epidemiological studies.
The figures describe particular projects rather than RCDI’s total historical impact. Programme populations and strategic targets are not counted as delivered beneficiaries.
Next priorities described in the report
Household support, stronger monitoring, borehole stewardship, school learning, the reusable-pad production model and deeper institutional partnerships are identified as priorities for the second half of 2026. These are forward-looking priorities, not additional completed results.
