Training of water management committes
By Mbeng Simon | The Director
During this period Better Family Foundation (BFF) Management decided to organize a one day training on effective management of water in order to ensure its hygiene and sanitation. This measure was to promote the global concerns towards the prevention of COV-19. At this time that water is vital for drinking and frequent hand washing, there is need to ensure that the water is taken care of so that it remains clean and safe for human health.
To realize this objective, Better Family Foundation invited the leaders of the various water management committes in and around Fundong and trained them on how they need to effectively manage their water schemes. It should be noted that most of the water schemes had been abandoned due to deepening sociopolitical crisis that have affected this region of the country.
In all eleven (11) communities were represented during the training session. By the end of the training, these water scheme Leaders were expected to return to their communities and train the various water management committes members. The sum of thirty seven thousand francs CFA (37000) was used for the organization of the training. The Management of Better Family Foundation sincerely appreciates all those who contributed in anyway possible towards the realization of this objective.

Keeping water facilities clean
By Mbeng Simon | The Director
Better Family Foundation is sorry to be making this report later than expected due to some unavoidable circumstances beyond the control of the Management. During the last period the staff of Better Family Foundation visited the Ngwainkuma and Alim/Boyui communities and sensitized the community members to keep the surroundings of all stand taps clean.
The Management of Better Family Foundation took this initiative after realizing that most stand taps in these communities as well as others have been abandoned untidy due to the socio-political crisis that have affected this communities. Realizing that there was some precarious calm prevailing in the area, the management went down to the field to encourage the community members to clean the stand taps environments in order to ensure safety and clean water.
In order to realize this objective, the staff were divided into two teams and the excercise was carried out on the same day and time. The community members who had not been displaced due to the socio-political crisis came out and in less than two hours all the stand taps in both communities were cleaned. This initiative was communicated to the community members through the village heads who used their town cryers.
The Management of Better Family Foundation used money only to transport its staff to the field during this activity. We thank all those supporting this program in a special way.
