Safe Water Initiative Sierra Leone visits Kpandebu Village, Mano Sewallu Section Kailahun District to see their drinking water.

Kpandebu Village contacted the Safe Water Initiative Sierra Leone in 2023 to construct them a hand dug pump after seeing our finished water well constructions in Loma, Bubengu and Tondofolu in Mano Sewallu Section, Luawa Chiefsom, Kailahun District.

The people of Kpandebu Village get sick regularly more especially by water bone diseases and sanitation and hygiene related diseases like Shistosomiasis, dysentery, Typhoid fever to name but a few.

The Safe Water Initiative has contacted the First Things Foundation Sierra Leone to help them fundraise so the well construction can be done next year.

The Bubengu Safe Water Project

Bubengu village is 7 miles away from Kailahun Town (the headquarter town of Kailahun District).

The people have been drinking water from a local, opened and unprotected hand dug well, situated very close to the swamp. This local well is half a mile from the village. This water has been causing so many diseases like dysentery, Schistosomiasis etc. The distance of the well was causing children to get late to school. Women had to go early to this well to fetch water for their homes, thereby involving with other daily activities that are ecomical.

When the Safe Water Initiative Sierra Leone, finished constructing a hand dug well/pump at Loma village, the people of Bubengu contacted the same organization to help them construct a hand dug well too.

The initiative contacted the First Things Foundation Sierra Leone to help raise funds to undertake this project. In 2024, the First Things Foundation Sierra Leone was able to raise funds to support this project.

The water management committee, which overseers the operations of the pump was formed. Each household pays 5 Leones at the end of the month for the maintenance of the pump in case it gets damaged to ensure sustainability.

Hygiene and sanitation sensitization was as well done to ensure safe storage and the use of the water for drinking, bathing and other domestic uses.

We have about 350 villages that have contacted the Safe Water Initiative Sierra Leone to help them with safe drinking water.

We are therefore encouraging donations, grants and Partnership from other organizations both national and international to help provide safe drinking water in those remote villages in Kailahun District.

Safe Water Initiative Sierra Leone, is a community based organization.

The purpose of this organization is to provide Safe drinking water, hygiene and Sanitation in the remote villages in Kailahun District.

During the 11 years of war in Sierra Leone, many safe drinking water facilities were destroyed. In addition to the war, Sierra Leone also experienced the Ebola outbreak that affected many communities, more especially Kailahun District.

There are still many villages in Kailahun District that do not have safe drinking water. The people drink water from running streams and unprotected boreholes.

In the rainy season, the run off water carries human f***s, animal dung, and debris into the streams or the unprotected boreholes. There is also the growth of bacteria and fungi into those streams or the local boreholes that make the water unfit for human health.

For this reason, many people in those villages especially the children regularly get sick of these water bone diseases like dysentery, Schistosomiasis and many others. Some of those water sources are located far away from the villages, women and children travel from long distances to fetch water from those sources, thereby endangering their lives. Some of the children go to school late after fetching water from a very long distance, this increase late coming and sometimes irregularities in school.

Again when the children are infected with those water bone diseases, they make them stay away from school to seek treatment. Those water bone diseases also cause serious illnesses leading to manutrition and sometimes death in children and even adults.

Because of the above problems and some others, the safe water Initiative has taken up the responsibility of visiting those villages and helping them find temporary and Permanent safe Water solutions together with hygiene and sanitation practices.

We have constructed three hand dug wells(pumps), in Loma, Bubengu and Tondofolu villages in Kailahun District with First Things Foundation Sierra Leone.

More than 300 villages have contacted us to provide these facilities for them. We are looking for funds to provide these facilities in those villages.
