Supply safe water to a Cameroonian farming village

Under the leadership of the Shisong Water association the local community has used the global giving funds  and volunteered their labor to build eight temporary stand pipes. These stand pipes will give over Three thousand people year round running water. Usually in the dry season the local water sources run dry and families have to trek miles to find fresh water. The temporary stand pipes will remain until the storage tank has been completed and then permanent stand pipes can be placed. The community has finished the generous funds that we  eceived from global giving and needs more to proceed.  

Lack of Collecting Tank results in Water Scarcity

For some while now the villagers of Shisong have been slow in realizing the final phase of their water project. A situation that is affecting the community so much that there is water scarcity. This was particularly noticed during peak dry season (February and March) Increased efforts to raise funds for the construction of water collecting tank  has been slow. The project which was started with a lot of enthusiasm is experiencing some difficulties due to poverty and donor fatigue. The villagers have been doing voluntary work, donating cash, food and drinks for the project. Its for these reasons that Mr Wanyu with determination said ‘Am very worried about this water project and do not know where to begin again, but we must do something to improve the situation.’
