Dear supporters of Providing Clean water to the rural community in Cameroon,
Water is life and it is provided to us by nature in spotted areas. To have clean water which is suitable for drinking, cooking, for hospital use etc needs to be taken care of it properly. The community of this village realy understands the importance of safe drinking water and are very committed to their project.
At this moment the community has been able to finalize the construction of the Water Tank and the first small catchment which is able to provide the little water that is being stored in the lone Tank and from the lone and small catchment. The one and only cathcment for now cannot provide enough water to be stored in the already existing Tank.
Usually during thedry season fromJanuary through March and part of april the water level is always very low. With the climate changes being experienced, the village faced a serious water crises this year.
As you can see the natuture of temporal taps provided and dripping water takes hours for 20 litres to be collected. We have been experiencing a lot of fighting especially in the morning and evening periods when every one need water in every housewhole and the supply is very limitted.
However because this project has not yet got another catchment which we are working on it now, some families still end up fetching water from very unclean running water and streams being used by animals.
We want to add acatchment and add the volume of water going into the tank so as to have enough water stored and released for every one to use without experienceing any shortages.
We also want to build very stand pipe after distrbuting to various quarters in the community. We are waiting for the disbursement so as to buy Cement, Sand and pipes and work on the new catchment because Community labour is readily available.
We thank all of you who have supported this project very much. Just like Olivertwist, take action and promote this project since you choosed to support from the bottom of your hearts. Let us join our hands and complete the project and keep the community free from all water related deases.
Thank you very much as I wait to see some of you come on board or recommend and orpromote this projectin any way possible.
Attached are pictures of some of the temporal taps which is only dripping untile we add the volume which we are working on the new catchment now.
Remain blessed.
