Water-associated infectious diseases are a major health problem for Togo's rural population. The cause is the often poor hygienic conditions in the villages and the lack of access to clean drinking water. The village of Nyogbo Vamatekpo is also affected. The approximately 700 people draw their daily water from standing water in the area or have to travel long distances to the nearest well. As part of the project, a deep well is to be built, which will ensure access to clean drinking water close to home. This also powers three new handwashing stations in the village. A water committee is founded and trained, and a prevention campaign is carried out in order to have a lasting positive impact on the health of the population.
