Environmental research

This project will build on the outcomes of the domestic energy project using the networks and relationships build with communities and stakeholders in the area. Meri Rural Council has carried out some activities addressing risk factors and vulnerability. These activities will complement this project as Meri Rural Council is a key partner. Our knowledge of the cultures of the communities, our skills in the lingua franca of the area (Fulfulde) will help the success of this project. This project involves the construction of water tanks to capture rain water from rooftops, channel it through pipes in to tanks render it portable by treating with chemical to render it pure and healthy for domestic use especially when the dry season is at its peak. This will help reduce hardship and illness caused by water borne diseases and also the consumption of water that contains fluoride.
