WCC water project (Sierra Leone)

The primary goal of the WCC water project is to provide clean drinking water to the drought-stricken places of Eastern, Freetown, Sierra Leone . The WCC water project provides safe drinking water to the poorest communities of Sierra Leone, thus breaking the vicious cycle of poverty, enhancing child health development and strengthening community partnerships. The water project aids in overcoming the water crisis and promotes the overall development of the people of Sierra Leone. Vital education pertaining to HIV/AIDS and other contagious diseases prevention is also imparted through messages that are easier for children to grasp.

About half the population & less than 1/3rd of people in Sierra Leone and rural areas have access to safe drinking water and the young people have to walk 3 to 4 miles every day just to fetch water needed for their households.The water collected from the streams are contaminated with human faeces and are not safe for human consumption.WCC aims to construct an additional five (5) water wells in the community (Eastern), adding to the one thus totalling to six (6) water wells, to counter the poor water situation in the community. The water well construction work is currently undertaken by a developing agency (indiegroup) in Sierra Leone. Community self-help and fundraising have also contributed in meeting part of the costs in promoting effectiveness of service.By donating to this project, you can help Sierra Leone to become a vibrant and self-sufficient community that is less reliant on external aid in the long term."You, the donor, made this happen!" and thanks for being part of WCC possibilities.
