Desafío

Matthew Rusike Children’s Home (MRCH) ofrece instalaciones de cuidado residencial para niños huérfanos y vulnerables en Epworth, Zimbabwe. MRCH es una de las organizaciones que promueve el bienestar infantil más grandes de Zimbabwe, atiende a más de seis mil niños y tiene una plantilla de cincuenta empleados. Siguiendo su pasión por crear un espacio en el que los niños pudieran crecer saludables, MRCH buscó una solución a sus problemas de acceso al agua potable para los residentes y el personal.

El acceso al agua potable protege a los niños de las enfermedades transmitidas por el agua y mejora su desarrollo y crecimiento, pero esta región enfrenta algunas barreras extremas para satisfacer esta necesidad humana básica. El principal desafío al que se enfrenta MRCH es el acceso a un suministro de agua potable para el consumo y uso para las actividades de la vida diaria. Debido a la sequía prolongada, los residentes tienen la obligación de racionar el agua en el marco de una medida de preservación del gobierno local durante la sequía y la disminución en los niveles de agua. MRCH había invertido en un pozo para suministrar agua potable, pero deseaba una solución más segura y confiable.

Proyecto SOURCE

En asociación con Women in Action, Andana Consulting y MRDH, Safety Nett Ltd instaló cuatro hidropaneles SOURCE en Matthew Rusike Children’s Home para proporcionar un suministro de agua potable limpia, segura, deliciosa y renovable para los jóvenes y el personal.

Hydropanel General Installation Requirements:

  • Sunny mounting location – The SOURCE Hydropanel works best in full sun. Unobstructed sunlight required at least 5 hours per day. Avoid placing under shading objects such as trees, buildings, etc.
  • 4 x 6 foot (1.2 x 1.8 meters) mounting area per Hydropanel.
  • Minimum clearance of 1ft (30cm) in front of and behind the panels to allow access for service.
  • Minimum 3 inches (8 cm) between hydropanels from side to side within an array.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be installed at least 15 feet (5 meters) away from windows and should be positioned considering hydropanel sound with respect to living spaces.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be level from side-to-side with a maximum deviation of 20mm.
  • Hydropanel must be South Facing (180°) for locations in the Northern Hemisphere, or North facing (0°) for locations in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • The installation surface must be level. For example, a flat roof, or level ground.
  • Roof mounted hydropanels must be at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the edge of any structure.
  •  
  • Adequate structural integrity of the roof is required. Do not install on a roof that is damaged or otherwise insufficient to hold the weight and wind loads of the hydropanel.
  •  
  • Consider whether there is space for a crane to set up and lift the hydropanels to their mounting location.
  • Ground locations should be firm, level, and evenly composed. The hydropanel can be placed on blocks, concrete, or mounted to lumber to provide a stable base to sit on.
  •  
  • Consider factors like soil composition, and how to manage erosion or plant growth over time.
  •  
  • Avoid installing the hydropanel where they may be wetted from irrigation sprinklers.
  •  
  • Ensure the hydropanel is raised above the specified flood plain.
  •  
  • Hydropanel should be anchored to the ground or sufficiently ballasted to prevent movement or damage from high winds.
