After performing emergency relief, Triangle G H is now launching a programme aimed at sustainable improvement of the living conditions for the people of Vakaga, particularly in terms of water and education.
The project’s objectives are:
- Contribute to providing access to primary education for all children,
- Contribute to reducing the percentage of the population that does not have a steady supply of drinking water,
- Contribute to making durable the services that the project has implemented.
More specifically, we plan the following actions:
- Construction or reconstruction of 25 school buildings,
- Training of teachers (civil servants or « parent-teachers »),
- Formalisation and establishment of Village Pupils’ Parents Associations,
- Creation of 10 new potable water points (wells),
- Training of maintenance agents, and guidance during their maintenance jobs and/or rehabilitation of existing water points,
- Formalisation and establishment of Village Water Management Committees,
- Encourage the administration to be actively present and foster networks between the administration’s representatives and village associations.
Hence, the project combines work to improve the people’s situation in terms of available infrastructures, with efforts at organisational and institutional level; this last aspect features, as well as close cooperation with competent ministries, the participation of UNICEF.
