AFRICARE completes rehabilitation of 20 more wells

    ABIDJAN

    AFRICARE has rehabilitated 20 more wells in villages in the districts of Pujehun and Bo, UNICEF said in its situation report for 14-21 November.

    UNICEF said that this action brought the completed wells to 80 out of 100 planned for the two areas. This is part of a deal UNICEF signed with the NGO to rehabilitate and build wells and pit latrines.

    In the eastern city of Bo, 200 traditional well owners have benefited from a two-day training session on a continuous chlorination technique. Similar training has been given to well owners in two other areas, Mile 91 and Yonibana, UNICEF said.
