Water in Benin, a daily need
In rural Benin, fetching water is still a daily chore, often left to women and children. Water from ponds and unprotected wells turns cloudy in the rainy season and exposes families to disease.
A lined well or a borehole brings safer water close to home: people drink, cook and make their ablutions on the spot. Our wells in Benin run without electricity, so they stay in service for a long time and can be repaired locally.
