I don’t think we have reported on the septic tank at Mayega Children’s Centre before. It has not really been a news item.The tank is at the back of the dormitory building. It now needs cleaning out, and the Rural Sanitation and Water Authority (RUWASA) sent their tanker.
It is the rainy season, and Mayega is sandy. There was perhaps an inevitability about what happened, and it took from 8am to 4pm to dig the vehicle out. RUWASA will come back when the ground is drier. Let’s hope for a better outcome.
Life at Mayega is not without its challenges.
