Water Project

Kemogola

Our goal is to provide villages with public access to clean water.

Kemogola’s growing public access to clean water.

 

Kemogola is a remote village located in southern Mali. There are roughly 3,100 villagers, including three classrooms of 176 students. The village had a shallow well that contained bacteria and dried up during the summer months. Teachers carried a small bucket of water to school each morning for all the children to use.

The Mali Wellness Foundation drilled a deep well system (380 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-liter water storage tank was placed on a 15-foot tower above the well, along with four solar panels that provide power for the submersible pump placed at the bottom of the well.  Five water spigots were placed throughout the village, one that connects to the community garden drip-line irrigation system and two near the school, so all have access to clean drinking water.

In 2021, a group of 300 Dogon tribe refugees were pushed from their homes in northern Mali by terrorists. One of the water spigots was placed near their settlement so they would have access to clean drinking water.
