Construction of water tank and catchment
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
Since the last report Better Family Fooundation has been working on the field to realize two water projects in two different villages in Fundong subdivision. These villages are Meli and Atu-abuh.
In all two water tanks or reservoires and a catchment have been constructed to serve over 5000 inhabitants. It worth mentioning that both communities have been very involved in all the projects by contributing either in cash or in kind. So far $3200 have been invested in the projects. We would have liked to post pictures of these, for your viewing but due to poor internet we are unable to do so.
On behalf of these communities Better Family Foundation is very grateful and wishes to appreciate all those who contributed in anyway to make these projects a success.

Improvement on the water scheme
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
Better Family Foundation (BFF) has for the past three months continued with monitoring and evaluation of the water in Muteff community.
In order to improve on the shortcomings of the scheme, BFF has extended the water scheme to other parts of the community. In this vein, one stand tap has been constructed to bring water closer to part of the village which did not have any water. Another stand tap and wash hand trough (basin)have been constructed in the primary school so as to provide water to the pupils and improve on their hygiene and sanitation whenever they returned from visiting the toilet. (We would have provided you with pictures of the work but due to poor internet connection we find it difficult uploading the photos).
This project has been carried out, thanks to the money raised through Global Giving and some from Shared World Visions. We are thankful to all our donors for helping to improve on the hygiene and sanitation of this under privileged community. Thanks also go to Global Giving for providing a medium for raising the money and transferring it to Better Family Foundation.

Determine to provide quality water for all.
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
Better Family Foundation (BFF) is poised to help the Muteff community to have quality safe drinking water. After our monitoring of the operation of the system in place and reception of the community reports on the functioning of the recently built water structures BFF realised that the water supply is not properly managed and needs to be extended to other parts of the community to make it more accessible to the population. In this vein we have started holding meetings to plan ho to organize a refresher course on water management and extend the existing systems to other parts of the village.
In order to ensure the suceess of the plan BFF has been holding meetings and making plans with the Fundong Council on how to raise money to get the work done. We have also been making relentless efforts to raise funds nationally and internationally in order to provide quality water for everybody in this underprivileged community.
During this time, we are also thankful because some people have kept on showing their humanitarian gestures by contribbuting through Global Giving into this project fund in order to make our dream come true. We appreciate your generousity and assure you that the money will be put into effective and efficient use.
