<div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div><div style="color:inherit;"><div><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div> The association &quot;Benin Friends&quot; was founded by Father Gildas Cambia to offer a better future to the people from the rural villages in Atacora, who are living in extreme poverty. They support families in very precarious situations, far below the poverty line. Many of the children do not even have the opportunity to go to school.&nbsp; <span style="color:inherit;">Some are true orphans, others have been abandoned by their families because of traditional rituals (animism). They all receive their special attention.</span></div>
<div><br></div><div> In 2014, a shelter for these children was created in Tepenge by the Father Yantoukoua N'Tia Sanni Servais to provide a safe environment for these abandoned children to go to school. Today, the centre is home to more than 45 boys aged between 5 and 15. And it is open to illiterate young girls who are no longer in school, to learn to sew in the sewing workshop (established in 2020). With the initial contributions, they have supported the purchase of beds &amp; mosquito nets, school supplies and uniforms, sustainable agriculture (equipment, fencing of the vegetable garden) and gender equality by starting a literacy course for the girls. </div>
<br><div> In addition to the original aim of the association, which is to support the Tepente shelter, they also want to provide support in the areas of water supply and medical care.&nbsp; <span style="color:inherit;">Water scarcity is a major problem in Benin in general and in the village of Boukombé in particular. On the one hand, there is the water supply, to which not everyone has access. On the other hand, there is the problem of commercialisation of the available water towers, which exclude some residential areas.</span></div>

The center plays a crucial role in alleviating the suffering of the sick and promoting health and well-being in the community. However, it faces challenges such as providing care for indigent patients, the lack of radiodiagnostic services, and the absence of permanent specialist doctors, making it difficult to handle surgical emergencies.</span></p><p><br></p><div style="color:inherit;"><p><b>Project Location</b><span style="font-style:italic;"><br></span></p><span style="font-style:italic;">Burkina Faso - Mouhoun - Dédougou</span></div>

Nearly 24 million people currently live without access to safe water. More than 29 million people live without access to improved sanitation, and about 2.5 million people still practice open defecation. The most affected and vulnerable people live in rural, hard-to-reach areas. More than 30 million Ugandans live in rural areas, but there are up to 122,737 water sources scattered across the country, and they are not evenly distributed. There are up to 12,000 villages without a single water source.</span></div><div><br></div></div></div><div>In the rural villages of Kole District, where Community Development Shield Uganda focuses its activities, we have identified specific villages with low water coverage. For example, there are up to 50 villages that do not have a single source of water, but we also have villages that have more than 3 sources. Some of these villages don't even have a spring or borehole. Although the distribution of water sources seems to be everywhere on the map, when you reduce it to the micro level, it is not evenly distributed. In March 2023, during the implementation of another WASH-related project on training hand pump mechanics and spring wells, Community Development Shield Uganda conducted a needs assessment with key stakeholders in the target project implementation area. It was found that waterborne diseases were prevalent, with children under 5 at high risk of chronic diarrhoea. At the start of our programmes, 20-36% of children under 5 had suffered from diarrhoea in the previous seven days.</div><br><div><div style="color:inherit;"><div>This project aims to improve access to safe water and basic sanitation by empowering local communities to construct 10 protected spring wells. This project will contribute to improved health. The project beneficiaries will mainly contribute in kind, while the project will provide technical support and equipment.</div><br><div>The project will also integrate an innovative financial inclusion approach - the Village Saving and Loan Association (VSLA) concept - into the training of the Water User Committees and support them with various basic materials to implement the VSLA concept for WASH sustainability. This will ensure systematic collection and good management habits to cover maintenance costs. Hand-washing facilities will be provided at each water point to improve hygiene practices.</div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div style="color:inherit;"><div><div style="color:inherit;"><div><span style="color:inherit;"><b>Project Location</b></span><br></div><div><span style="font-style:italic;">Uganda, Northern, Kole</span></div></div></div></div></div>
