Supervision of trees planted in catchment areas
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director
During the last semester Better Family Foundation (BFF) staff went out to the field to supervise the water friendly trees which were planted in various water catchment areas in the communities in and around Fundong. Before going out to the field BFF Management held a meeting to decide on the modalities of the supervisory work. There after, the various community members were notified on the schedule of the work in their communities.
While on the field, BFF technical support team worked alongside the community members. The BFF technical team advised the community members on any irregularities discovered concerning the growing of the trees. After going through all the communities BFF staff realized that 95% of the trees were growing very well. The technical support team appreciated all the communities and encouraged them to continued with their positive attitude in caring for their water catchment areas.
Better Family Foundation heartily appreciates all those who are supporting this project, thereby enabling the Fundong and its environs to have clean and safe drinking water.

Planting of trees in water catchment at Ngwainkuma
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director
Since the last report Better Family Foundation (BFF) staff have been engaged in the improvement of water catchment areas in Nngwainkuma. Ngwainkuma village is one of the villages located some two kilometres away from Fundong town. The village has three water catchyment areas. Better Family Foundation applied for water friendly trees from Fundong municipal council, transported to the catchment areas and supervised the planting of the trees in the different catchment areas.
In all 350 trees were applied for and request was granted. The staff of the organization sensitized the community members towards the project and supervised the work throughout its implementation. The aim of the project was to protect the water table from dropping especially during the dry season thereby causing water shortage.
Better Family Foundation management wishes to appreciate all the stakeholders who have contributed in whatever way towards the raising of funds and the implementation of the project.
