A borehole/ well project at the Zenu Cluster of Schools was not successful because the ground did not have water. The school therefore requested for a poly tank to harvest and store rain water. The borehole at Great Ningo and the poly tank at Zenu Cluster of Schools were both commissioned on the same day; 17th January, 2013.
