Norton Down Africa Fund celebrated its first year as a registered Charity last Friday, 19th October.A water pump was presented to Joshua Ssali, from Uganda by the trustees of the fund. Joshua, the son of Victoria and Stephen who run the Glenburnie Butega Primary School in Mityana, Uganda, will be taking the pump backto Mityana this week. The pump, which has been supplied by Solasense from Bristol is portable and can be charged by solar panels or drivenby a generator. This will ensure the safety of the pump and will replace their pump which was stolen some time ago.Children will no longer have to walk almost two miles every day to collect water from a well.
