Thanks to a generous grant from the Sorenson Legacy Foundation, Empower Mali was able to bring clean water to the village of N’Godonina in the Bougouni region. We used a modern highly effective borehole that was able to dig a 360ft well. We also installed an electric pump and an elevated reservoir which stores the water and keeps it safe from contamination
The water system has been a lifesaver for the 3800 residents of N’Godonina and has been able to provide a steady supply of clean water for families, livestock and crops.
Empower Mali also worked directly with the water committee in the village and brought in our own experts to conduct a training session on hygiene and sanitation around the tap and water treatment and clean storage techniques.
