At the request of 3 communities in its intervention area, the NGO CAV proposes to implement a support program for access to improved water sources. This project includes the installation of 3 boreholes in the rural populations of Lediyo , Nigbaoude II and Koumoniade in the Tchaoudjo prefecture in Togo. This project will contribute to improving the health of these communities, estimated at 4,279 inhabitants, by providing them with quality water, in sufficient quantity and in all seasons.
The challenges faced by these communities are generally as follows: water used in these areas is often sourced from open wells, infected water from rivers and ponds, which causes waterborne and parasitic diseases such as malaria (the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in these communities), diarrhea and typhoid fever.
1. Raise awareness among the 3 communities to better understand the issues and risks of the project 2. Undertake drilling and water analysis activities 3. Supply the equipment and install the mechanical and manual feeding system 4. Build the drilling superstructures with a metal door 5. Support the community in setting up Water Committees, responsible for monitoring and managing drilling 6. Strengthen the capacities of Water Committees on the maintenance, management and monitoring of boreholes
This project will bring the following impacts 1. A sustainable solution to the problem of drying up of water sources in the dry season 2. Prevention of water-borne diseases 3. Improvement of the health of the population.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
