In early October, Sarah-Kate and I started the process of building two water towers in neighboring villages just a few kilometers outside of the town's center. These two villages have to hike up and down this huge mountain everyday to fetch water from the well. Thanks to a lot of hard work from a lot of people in the villages and at the commune, the projects are only about three weeks away from completion.
The construction is going well and I am really excited about seeing the final product. In just three short weeks the people of IKroma and IGanouin will have running water for the first time ever!
Here are some photo updates!
