Fresh Water for the people of the Ndop Plain, Cameroon

In a specific area of Cameroon, the Ndop plain, 200k people live in rural communities over a land area of X. Despite numerous attempts by aid agencies, these people have little or no access to clean drinking water.

This project is being lead by a team of people from Grace Bible Fellowship with the specific objective of providing this basic right to the people. The project is quite simple. The team will fund and co-ordinate the building of 35 wells over 5 years. The feasibility of this project has been tested through the completion of two wells in the area which have been successful.

The well construction will be managed by approved contractors and prices have been negotiated. The total cost for the project is €35k.


Biofilters

A Biofilter costs €50 and will ensure a family has access to clean water in their house. Our vision is to distribute 250 of these by the end of 2009. If you are interested in buying one of these either for yourself or as a gift to someone else please contact Liz Rowen.


Fundraising Initiatives

Our first initiative is the Flora Women’s Mini Marathon. We are looking for volunteers to take part on the 1st of June in Dublin. It’s a 10k run (or walk) and we desperately need more volunteers as it is a fantastic opportunity to raise money for these wells. If we get 30 volunteers to raise €100 each, we will have our first well complete! It promises to be a fun day out and a great way of meeting people.


Want to help?

Anyone can help… simply running a coffee morning in your house, or if you are involved in a sports or social club arranging a club fund raising event like a table quiz. If you simply want to donate or even buy a Biofilter for a family in Cameroon please drop an email to Liz Rowen and we can take from there.
