In Côte d'Ivoire, the National Office of Drinking Water (ONEP) estimated that over 48% of the rural population use water from traditional wells and creeks for their daily consumption needs. They are therefore exposed to significant health risks. The main water-related diseases are: anemia, diarrhea, typhoid, hepatitis, infection with the Guinea worm, etc. These represent 80% of diseases and are one of the leading causes of child mortality.
What is the situation of hydraulic structures in village water works in Haut Sassandra AND Gontougo area?

The number of works equipped with Human Operating Pumps (HOP) operating in top Sassandra is 882 to 1748 estimated requirements, which is a rate of 50.5% to cover.
- In Gontougo
The number of works equipped with Human Operating Pumps (HOP) operating in Gontougo is 967 to 1212 estimated requirements, which is a rate of 20% to cover.

The Rotary Club of Abidjan Bietry as part of a long-acting as recommended by the PLC (Club Leadership Plan) and the strategic axes Rotary chose to make its hobbyhorse, provision of potable water to populations of Haut Sassandra and Gontougo. Drinking Water Project of the Rotary Club of Abidjan Bietry is divided into three parts:
- New drillings with PMH ;
- Supply and installation of new PMH well drilled;
- Social actions.
Thus installation of large-scale projects over the long term allows the club to impact the environment more sustainable and develop its own personality.
a-General Objective
The objective of the project is to increase the pace of implementation of hydraulic structures, but also set up improved water management systems more efficient and sustainable.

• 20 Drillings equipped with PMH.
• Supply and installation of new PMH drilled well
• Raising awareness of the population on favourable behaviour to the sustainability of facilities and involve them in the management process.
