Kamerun - Village D' Abembe
IS LOOKING FORWARD TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER!
location: South Cameroon - Area Ecole Publique - Village D' Abembe
Cameroon is one third bigger than Germany.
water situation: Beside acute water shortage there is also very bad water quality. Most springs are used from person and animal together. The water occurence in this region lies in approx. 10 - 15-metre depth and can be dug by hand.
partner organisation: "Afidi" (=Hope) under the direction of Mrs. Vero La Reine
inhabitants: In the several villages live about 3.000 people with ca. 300 children under the age of 8.
deep of well: ca. 12 m
needed wells: Region Ecole - Mofu - ca. 50 wells
costs of project: Euro 3.000,-- for each well
planed activities: The 1st module of the well-builder's education has already begun in February 2011 under the direction of Mr. Dietmar Stuck and should be continued in February 2012 with the 2nd module.
target: With the special project "clean drinking water for Cameroon" our organisation would like to train young men to well-builders. The participants should learn how shaft wells and source versions are produced.
Another part of the education is the expert assembly and servicing of the pumping arrangement as well as the careful contact with the village wells, so that the drinking water reservoirs remain hygienically flawless and clean. Together with partner organisations in Africa and an Austrian well drilling team we work on this unusual education project with the aim that the youngster get the necessary "Know How" to be able to found an own well construction company after successful conclusion after a 3-year Education.
