In Cape Verde, more specifically on the island of Santo Ant o in the town of Lagoa, Companhia, and Matinho, there are serious deficiencies related to water distribution. The population in these localities needs to move large distances, i.e more than 5 km to obtain and transport water for domestic use and for livestock. Such survival conditions reflect negatively on the quality of life of communities and even school attendance of children, often contributing to their families in obtaining and transporting water. The Associa o Recreativa M os Unidad Companhia, in partnership with Projecto de Refor o das Capacidades de Adapta o e Resili ncia s Mudan as Clim ticas no Sector dos Recursos H dricos em Cabo Verde INGRH, assessed the situation and to responded by constructing a water tank of 100 m3 and to pump water to all three communities located more than 5 Km away.
