Our first project is the construction of a public drinking water well. It will not only supply our teachers and trainees with free water, but also the people from the village of Bersingou. We are delighted that our offer has been accepted so far – women in particular like the design, as they no longer have to bend down to the tap with a baby on their back, but can stand upright with a bowl on their head.
With the aim of continuously expanding and improving our charitable work, we regularly rely on the support of generous sponsors. Nevertheless, it is inevitable that we have to raise our own funds for many of our projects. This personal contribution is essential, as funding often requires co-financing of between ten and 25 per cent.
In September 2020, we submitted a funding application for the construction of a drinking water well, which was successfully implemented in November of the same year.
