Dogo's expanding access to clean water
Dogo, a remote village located 162 kilometers from the capital city of Bamako, is home to approximately 3,500 residents, including 340 students. Until recently, the village faced significant challenges in accessing clean water.
To address this critical need, the Mali Wellness Foundation drilled a 310-foot deep well that remains operational throughout the summer months. This advanced system features a newly designed filtration system that guarantees pure, potable water for the entire community. A 5,000-gallon water storage tank has been installed on a 20-foot tower above the well, supported by four solar panels that power the submersible pump at the bottom of the well.
To ensure that everyone in Dogo has access to clean drinking water, two spigots have been strategically placed near the schoolyard, with one connecting to the community garden and the other located centrally within the village. This initiative marks a significant step towards improving the health and well-being of the villagers.
