2009 Project 1: The Fuli Water Project
To see the updates for this project, visit Fuli Water Project in the Categories section.
Project Goal:
To extend an existing pipeline to the village of Fuli, located in the Boyo Division of the Northwest Provence of Cameroon in Africa. Click Here for a map.
The Problem:
Currently there are over 500 people who do not have access to fresh drinking water in this area. Residents spend two and a half hours every day traveling to and from the only fresh source of water.
The Solution:
The completion of this project will bring the water to the people of Fuli and allow them to spend more time working and providing in their local village.
Project Management:
This project is being run by RUDEC (Rural Development Center). They are a local, certified non-profit that provides numerous services to the surrounding region. Visit them online.
A Brief History of the Fuli Water Project:
The construction of the main pipeline started in 1978; how this was coordinated is still unknown. At sometime pre-1990, however, construction was coordinated by a Local Development Union, comprised of an association of five villages, which acted as the coordinating and decision-making committee.
Between 1987 and 2008, support has been given to the project by various organizations – some from government and some from voluntary sectors, through funding or technical assistance.
