Provide Clean Water to Rural Communities in Kumbo

Dear cheerful  donors.

I am glad to report that despite the crises in Cameroon, it is not disturbing the project because we are working on days that are calm and when there  are gun shoots towards the project site we will all rush to the valleys.  However, community work is being organized on ghost town days and sinice we are in a Rural area, we do not have any hindrance of carrying on work on the project site.

I am also very grateful to inform all the donors that the project has become very outstanding  because it is helping a wider community more than expected because of the Water crises in Kumbo Town.   Moreover, the town dwellers who have run away from the war and are taking refuge in this rural areas are benefiting a lot from the current supply.   We have also gained an advantage of additional labour force.

It was decided by the commiittee to identify another catchment so as to develop  as we look forward to the Storage Tank construction.  This is to make sure that before the completion of the StorageTank, all the identified needed spring sources must have been completed so as to take and controle enough water to the big storage Tank which we expect to construct.

It is in this light that we are currently working again on another new Catchement after completting the previouse one we repoprted last time.   On the attached pictures you can see the natural stones that have been cleared and used for embankment.  Work continues seriously next monday where more pictures shall be taken and  presented in our next report. 

We expect to complete the catchment before the 15th of February and to report accordingly.  We sincerely wish to thank all the donors and just like Oliver twist appealing for more support so that we can provide enough water that would continue to benefit a wider community sustainably.

May God bless you all.

Dear project supporters and well wishers,

I am writing this report with a very very big smile on my face because the project has  supported the highest number of people it has never done so before.  This is because  about 80% of the population of Kumbo  were internally displaced by the on going socio political crises of the Anglophone speaking regions.  It was not easy since mid September 2018  

The village where this project is located happened to have  been  out of Kumbo in the rural part. This village is not far from the  forest and farm lands.  As people had to quit the towm for their safety, the Water project was the main supply of clean water to those in the bushes, forest and in the village not to talk of the Health centre.  where must of the wonded Amba boys are being treate as they can not go to the big hospital in town.

The main water scheme of Kumbo was broken off we do not know weather this was done by the Amba boys or the Forces of Law and order. This meanse that the project again had to serve those who were not able to leave Kumbo dispite the tension of Road blocks, burning of houses, Vehicles, motocycles  and shooting of civilians and soldiers.

Last Month, we scheduled and maintenance work in the project  which was intensively carried out by the Water Management committee.

We did a lot  as we were able to  clear all the catchment areas, planted lifestock  which will help in sustaining the water supply, washed all the collection chambers and the Water Stotage Tank.We also carried out repairs on all the piples making sure that there is leakage thereby avoiding waste as the dry season is becoming intensified.

We are still appealing for financial assistance to enable us build  a Collecting Chamber to control the Third catchment and possibly construct the second Tank since the crises have instead proven that this project is very helpful and will likely continue to be helping a wider community than projected at the early stage.

Do not be decieved  by the news of the socio political crises. This project is in the Rural area and it is ongoing without disturbances.  Feel free to donate to this project without any hesitation.

May God Bless you.
