In Seco Samba Yabé, a village on the outskirts of Dawady, a major breakthrough has just been achieved thanks to the joint efforts of Eau Claire, a partner of The Ivory Foundation, and Kaicedrat.
The village is now equipped with a solar-powered pump and a water tower, finally making an existing resource accessible. Indeed, a borehole had been drilled by another NGO a few years ago, but the project was never completed: the water, available at a depth of just 8 metres, had remained unusable until now due to the lack of a pumping
system.
This new installation is a turning point. It paves the way for the establishment of a market garden, something the village had been completely without until now.
As part of this initiative, The Ivory Foundation has included Seco Samba Yabé among the villages already supported around Dawady. The necessary materials are currently being procured to fence off the site and build storage ponds, to facilitate irrigation.
The implementation of this new garden will be overseen by Abdhouramane and Malik, managers of the Dawady farm, who will support the villagers in developing this project.
A decisive step forward that illustrates the importance of access to water as a driver of agricultural development and self-sufficiency for rural communities.
À Seco Samba Yabé, village situé en périphérie de Dawady, une avancée majeure vient d’être réalisée grâce à l’action conjointe de Eau Claire, partenaire de The Ivory Foundation et du Kaicedrat.
