Project Update:Water for health centersin Sierra Leone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For three remote villages in the heart of Kono District, Sierra Leone, we’re bringing more than just clean drinking water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with World Vision, One Hundred Restrooms and We Are Water, we’re working there to provide dignified care and safe deliveries for women, children and the communities around them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction is already underway at two locations with work on solar-powered boreholes, VIP latrines and expanded delivery rooms. Local teams have been trained to maintain the systems – ensuring continued access despite challenging conditions such as climate and remoteness. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading for a mid-term update of the project: what has been accomplished, what insights we gained and what challenges we encountered.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3 centers, 16.500 people<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Three health centers are being completely renovated in the remote villages of Bandasuma, Kamindu and Foindu Mongor. These are dedicated clinics for mothers and children. They will get access to clean drinking water, decent sanitation and safe, hygienic spaces for deliveries and medical care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s often still lacking today \u2014 running water, a clean delivery room and a place to wash your hands \u2014 will soon be available. With these improvements, we’re laying the foundation for care with dignity, even in the most remote areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal: <\/strong>safer childbirth, better hygiene and sustainable health care for more than 16,500 people<\/strong> in this region. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The core of this project is a practical, sustainable improvement of three clinics. We will implement the following facilities and improvements in and around the health centers. This will ensure healthier conditions for mothers, babies, caregivers, and the surrounding community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
