At the INTA conference in San Francisco in 2011, we chose to donate a sum of money for each person present to a water well in Mali, together with Erikshjälpen. Our well is dug in the area of Tiakadougou-Faraba, a rural area where the population is totally dependent on agriculture and is self-sufficient. The supply of drinking water has been very limited for many years, especially during the long dry season that extends over eight months of the year. The well has three major advantages: 1. It ensures access to water throughout the year. 2. It provides guaranteed clean drinking water by protection from pollutants. 3. The well is fenced off and thereby eliminates the risk of children or animals falling into it. People who would otherwise become sick or, even worse, die from polluted water can now enjoy clean drinking water.
