Water for Good

WASH (clean water, sanitation, hygiene): WFG's central African assets, infrastructure and strategic planning uniquely establish it as a key implementer of deep well water drilling in the Central African Republic (CAR). Two fully operational "down-hammer drilling" rigs, all the necessary supporting equipment and staff, together with a sophisticated support services infrastructure. WFG is well placed to address the WASH needs that exist in central Africa, especially in the CAR. 32 manual pumps and 58 water kiosk on 12 water systems.

WFG will influence external support and implementing organizations to take action in line with the common principles and focus on systematic approaches to universal access to sustainable WASH service delivery, and provide overall direction and coordination in CAR.

The goal is to visit each pump in the program at least two times during the year and perform regular maintenance to ensure a constant uptime. 3,737 maintenance visits were made to ensure over 97% functionality.

WFG broadcasts on a shortwave frequency which is heard over the western part of the country. Programming in focused on reinforcing the hygiene message, general community advancement, and interviews.
