Zanquengin (orphanage)

A very exciting well. This orphanage is situated to the east of Koudougou, not very far from a mains water supply, but there is very little chance of being connected to it for very many years. Fresh water for about 300 children every day.

2011 – a lovely service of dedication with a lot of singing and dancing.  There is a school as well at the orphanage and I think the children enjoyed the day off.  The children liked opening some of the bags from the container.  They rarely have new clothing, jeans and football shirts were great favorites.

2013 – many new buildings.  The orphanage is the same but the village has grown with many more housing clustered closer to the well.  There was a constant stream of ladies on bikes or with donkey carts collecting water from the well.

Who are we?

Our charity provides life-saving water wells in Burkina Faso – one of the poorest countries in West Africa. A few places do have mains water, but even that supply lacks purity.
100% of donations received go to pay for wells. The Trustees in the UK and Burkina Faso receive no remuneration for their work. The salaries of the two administrative staff employed in Burkina Faso are paid by the UK Trustees, or using funds specifically donated for this purpose.
