Clean Drinking Water for Youga-Fulani and Wilgo Villages
Challenge
The villages of Youga-Fulani and Wilgo are located in the department of Zabré (Boulgou Province, Central East region of Burkina Faso), near the border with Ghana. Given the extreme fragility of the health situation in this area, including the difficult living conditions, the shortage of information and knowledge on hygiene and basic health, action was needed from outside sources to establish a better water system.
Solution
The <a href="https://www.ifrc.org/en/what-we-do/where-we-work/europe/red-cross-of-monaco/"Red Cross of Monaco, in collaboration with the Burkinabe Red Cross initiated a three-year project (2014 – 2017) in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.
Budget
Implementation
Actions included the establishment of two Associations of Water Users [AWU]; the training of the members of AWUs on water management; the identification and training of three Artisans Repairers on local PMH maintenance techniques as well as the equipment for the three repairmen.
Result
Increased access to safe drinking water for the 2074 inhabitants of the Youga-Fulani and Wilgo villages and support for the implementation of good hygiene practices through education and community involvement.
