By Bernice Langley | 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 Sierra Leone (Freetown). The communities in Sierra Leone are in dire need of water supply.Therefore, the WCC water project will provide safe drinking water which in turn breaks the vicious cycle of poverty, enhances child health development and strengthens community partnerships. The water project aids in overcoming the water crisis and also in overall development by offering an alternative.There is a desperate need of water supply in Sierra Leone.Inorder to remedy the issue, WCC aims to construct five water wells in the community adding to the one already donated as an approach to counter the poor access to water.
The project helps Sierra Leone to become a vibrant and self-sufficient community that is less reliant on external aid in the long term. It also helps the citizens to overcome the post war trauma. The basic health and sanitation training that we offer aids in reducing child mortality rate from easily preventable infections. It also boosts the overall child development. Vital education pertaining to HIV/AIDS and other contagious diseases prevention is imparted through messages that are easier for children to grasp.
