A group of engineers in hydrogeology has been accompanying the communities of Benin since 2008 in the field of research on groundwater quality.
Doing nitrate/pH/hardness/metal testing at a well.
Since 2010, our group has been helping other communities in central Benin improve their health in hygiene and sanitation. Indeed we worked with the populations on the good hygienic practices and realized a dozen latrines ECOSAN (Ecological Sanitation) which is well adapted to their way of life.

Our priority today is to help the communities which are the most deprived and suffering cruelly from the lack of drinking water.
We aim to raise funds for the construction of a large-diameter well in September 2017 to help families in the village of Gadjawome have clean water.
Type of modern well to be built
Gadjawome is located in the south-west of Benin.The main activity is agriculture and the female population is the most active. Households use water from the river and runoff in ponds far from the village, so women, in addition to their busiest agricultural activities, have to walk more than one kilometer to draw water of doubtful quality.

Our financial capacity is limited, that is why we are launching this fundraising campaign. We had a quote and it came down to $ 1920.
What the fundraising will be used for?
-
$1215 will allow to dig a depth of 65 meters
-
$705 will provide the well accessories that are detailed as follows:
o $550 for the work of making the wire winch
o $155 for carpentry work
When we reach the objectives listed above, we will continue the project with the second stage, which will take into account the installation of an autonomous system consisting of: an electric pump to be immersed in the large diameter well; generator to supply the pump, a raised water tank and taps to facilitate access to the population.
We plan to start the second phase of the project if the fundsaising exceeds our current target.
Our vision is to have an impact on the largest number of communities in Benin who are suffering cruelly from drinking water.
