Our goal

To provide access to safe water, sanitation and better shelter for a remote community in Cameroon.

The Challenge

To provide access to hygienic water in a sustainable way.

Our scope of action in Cameroon is to support two different ethnic groups; the Pygmies and the Mbororo. Both are facing discrimination and rejection due to their cultural and social difference.

Cameroon, Africa.
The Mvoumagomi’s Pygmy community
The shelter is improvised with scrap materials and hygienic conditions are poor.
Eight people live and sleep on planks in this dirt floor shelter.
Fire inside the living place can be a danger, but at the same time it is protection against wild forest animals.
There is no access to potable water within the community. It must be fetched from the river.

Our Solution

Improve the level of public health for the village.

Warka Sanitation is designed to use simple, sustainable materials indigenous to the region—earth, palm leaves and wood—and constructed adopting local techniques. Two separate sides provide facilities for men and women. With this dry system, waste is turned into useful compost. Each toilet has two holes: one for urine and one for excrement. Liquid waste and solid waste can therefore be separated, which is very important.

Your Impact

By supporting our project you can help save people’s lives.

Your donation will provide members of the Mvoumagomi community access to safe water and decent latrine facility, allowing them to stay healthy by preventing waterborne diseases like cholera. Improving the quality of water will improve the quality of life for many members of the community and the economy of the village.

The quality of housing has major implications for people’s health. Poor living conditions can contribute to the spread of airborne diseases such as tuberculosis and respiratory infections such as pneumonia.
GOAL

Reliance on open fires or traditional stoves can lead to deadly indoor air pollution. The goal is to improve health and well-being for the member of the community without changing the traditional way the construct they habitats and respecting the culture.
GOAL

We also aim to build a sanitation and hygiene facility (Warka Sanitation) with a water catchment system, featuring management systems for both solid and liquid waste. We will also provide villagers with education on basic hygiene.
GOAL

A safe latrine and good hygiene habits will help people to stay healthy by preventing dangerous waterborne diseases. Adequate sanitation, together with good hygiene and safe water, are fundamental to good health and to social and economic development.

Of human excreta, feces are the most dangerous to health, the safe disposal of feces, in preventing disease transmission. Diarrhea is the leading cause of death among children under 5 years in sub-Saharan Africa.
