Water well with solar pump and storage tank in Ando Kpegbè, Togo

In Ando Kpegbè, a village about 60 km from Lomé, the inhabitants have no access to fresh water because
there is no river nearby. After rains, the villagers build ditches to catch the water that runs off. However,
when the rains stop, they have to go to the neighbouring village 6 km away to fetch water at great cost.
Attempts to drill a well failed because the groundwater reached was of poor quality. In order to get drinkable
water, one has to reach a depth of about 80 m due to the soil structure (rocks). In the project, a well with
solar pump and storage tank will be installed to ensure water supply at all times. In addition, Acteurs Reunis
will carry out an awareness campaign on hygiene and cleanliness and set up a committee for the
maintenance and management of the new infrastructure.
