Tabakoro is a remote area with roughly 10,000 villagers, including 1,200 students. The village had a shallow well that contained bacteria and dried up during the summer months. Villagers walked several miles each day to collect water.

The Mali Wellness Foundation drilled a deep well system (244 feet) that does not dry up in the summer months. The system includes a newly designed filtration system to ensure pure, potable water for the village. A 5,000-gallon water storage tank was placed on a tower above the well, along with four solar panels that provide power for the submersible pump placed at the bottom of the well.  The well has the capacity to generate 10,800 of liters of water per hour. Two water spigots were placed throughout the schoolyard and community, so all have access to clean drinking water.

The Community Water Committee now oversees the proper maintenance and use of the well system.
