Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?

Nlong is situated in Lobo Sub- division, Lekie Division, Center Region, some 40 km from Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon. It is a rural area of about 3,000 inhabitants. Populations of the rural area of NLONG in Cameroon are poor peasants who live from agriculture. People drink water from rivers and streams, consequently leading to many water borne diseases such as diarrhea, typhoid, amoebia etc.

What is your project and how will it help?

The project consists of the construction of a water point equipped with a manual pump. It will help bringing portable water to the population, reducing water borne diseases in the area. This will also ease the load of women and children who are usually the ones tasked with fetching water for the whole family.

How can other people partner with you on your project?

People can partner with us by volunteering, for example in digging the necessary well and duct. Or by acquiring or donating the complete manual pump as well as finishing the work on the surroundings of the water point.
