Installing water pumps in Chad

Providing water pumps in Tchad's remote areas

 

Chad, 2017. Refugees from the Central African Republic fetching water at a newly installed water pump.

Earlier this year I travelled through Chad with a missionary from the Lutheran Brotherhood. Part of their activities in Chad is to facilitate installation of water pumps in remote areas. Working closely with the community, they support and partially finance the installation of water pumps. In areas where the next water hole is a long walk away and will often provide unhealthy water, this makes a big difference to the communities. The water from the pumps has drinking water quality. In the southern part of the country the pump project also works with refugees from the Central African Republic.

Having had the opportunity to learn more about the people and the subject, I am now interested to continue working in collaboration with similar projects in Africa.
