Water project for Intswem Musenge in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Project description

The project aims to improve the hygienic conditions of the local population through the supply of drinking water, but also to reduce the distance and the workload of women and children to reach the water collection points, through the identification of 10 sources of drinking water located in 10 locations in the Intswem group.

Thanks to this intervention, we intend to sanitize the villages of Intswem, making them a model to be replicated for the neighboring villages of the Idiofa territory.
