DESCRIPTION
A collaboration between Yennenga Progress and Engineers Without Borders – Stockholm Different areas have different conditions to access water. Nakamtenga is a small village in one of the world’s poorest countries, Burkina Faso. The country has no coastline and lies on Sahara’s edge. Desertification is a palpable fact. The great river that is visible on the map only has water during the rainy season. Infant mortality is alarmingly high and access to clean water and sanitation is vanishingly small. Yennenga Progress has been for some time been fortunate tao have members in the area, which have gradually solved the issue of water shortage in different ways. People are creative, strong and committed. By working with Engineers Without Borders Stockholm we have the opportunity to see what research and expertise in other areas can contribute, to develop the project. Availability to water is a prerequisite for all operations at the Centre de l’Esprit Ouvert and for the people living in the area. We are convinced of the importance of a major investment in water, the development of society, and especially reducing child mortality. The area has a smaller pond that hold water during the rainy season (June – September) until February. The project group in Sweden makes a drawing of how the pond will be deepened. The drawing is sent to project managers on site who begins digging with a group of dedicated young people in the village who also will get job for some months. By simple means we will deepening the pond so that it holds water throughout the year. The pond is important for example drinking water for animals, laundering, and vegetation. When there is access to water throughout the year possibilities opens up to realize the dream to have a fish farm in the pond.
