Cameroon Water Well | Clean Water for the Sahel

It covers the geological survey, the drilling, the water-quality test, a hand pump built for the dry climate and the name plaque. Our team also keeps up the well's yearly maintenance.

For Sahel villages and hamlets in northern Cameroon where water access is hardest. The area is chosen by need and the field survey.

The water depth is measured and the well is dug deep enough to give water through the dry months. The yield is kept on file.
