🎉 CONGRATS to our team in Burkina Faso and the members of the Boussa community for launching a brand new deep-water well -- our first in the country for 2023!

💧 Situated just adjacent to a primary school, this new well will provide lasting access to clean water for 245 registered students and the surrounding community of over 1,400 people. 

The school has needed a well for a long time as the nearest clean water well is over a half a mile walk. 

A different organization tried to drill a well for the school in 2021, but they never found water.  Instead of drilling again, they just attached a pump and left a dry well. 😢

We are happy to report that the pump we installed will actually provide clean, consistent, convenient water to the community for years to come! 🥳

The community members came out to celebrate this momentous milestone in full form!  We are excited to witness the transformation on the health and livelihoods of the Boussa community. 🙌

This well would not have been possible without the generous support of Pathway To Progress (pathwaytoprogress.org), based in Florida, USA.  Thank you, Merci, and BARKA! 🙏

Stay tuned for more exciting updates from our clean water programs in Burkina Faso!
