In many rural regions of Togo, poor hygienic conditions and a lack of access to clean drinking water affect the health and ability of the population to work. Around 3.000 people currently live in the village of Atchavé. They draw their daily water mainly from the Avato River or stagnant water in the area. The local elementary school and college also do not have access to clean water.
As part of the project, a deep well with three tapping points is to be built in Atchavé in order to give the population access to clean drinking water close to home. A water committee is formed and trained.
In addition, a prevention campaign is being carried out in order to have a lasting positive influence on the health of the population.
