Lena’s Well at Koudmi

24th December 2020 by mark

There are over 200 families living at Koudmi. In Burkina Faso, the idea of 2.4 children does not apply! We have heard stories of a “family” being 40, 50 or even 60 people! A family will include three generations – possibly even four generations. So, 200 families will be a LOT of people.

Here are pictures of the new well:

Training at Koudmi

After the pump is installed at a new well, a professional trainer will visit to make sure the people know how to look after it. The Training Manual is mainly pictures. Literacy rates are low. In any case, many of the local languages are just spoken, not written.

Here is the training in progess at Koudmi:

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. No one in the UK or Burkina Faso receives any remuneration for their work.
