status of the project: In the course of the project "Water for Cameroon" the starting signal fell in 2011 also for our "life water needs" training programme. After the motto "help to the self-help" we integrate locals into our work and finance them at the same time a 3-year education to become a well-builder.

In cooperation with local companies preserved interested youngsters a respectable education and can file at the end of the teachers with the well construction experts of LBW her examination for the master's certificate. So the people do not "only" receive clean drinking water, they also get the chance of education, work and a self-determined life.

In few days a 12-metre-deep drinking water well originated under the supervision and with the help of the well construction team LBW. The new well-builder's apprentices performed excellent work and already in the 3/16/2011 the project could be concluded with the first pumping attempt successfully.
