Villagers at Mateke in the Kavango East Region need potable water.

The villagers claim that their lives are at risk due to human-wildlife conflict. 

The villagers say they walk about five kilometres to fetch water and are prone to being attacked by crocodiles.

The acting Principal of Omuhaturua Primary School, Rosewietta Uanivi, commended the Catherine Bullen Foundation for drilling a borehole and constructing a dining room.

In addition, the foundation is expected to complete the construction of an extra hostel block at the school next year.
