Français) Zodo Nogo is self-help, led by Burkinabe people for each other. We are in Burkina Faso, Africa just south of the Sahara Desert, where enormous difficulties exist when there is no supply of water. Less than 14 inches of rain falls each year. A properly constructed water reservoir can collect rainfall and sustain people the entire year. With water, we create jobs and opportunity for ourselves.
Our first reservoir was built in Sisene, Burkina Faso. It holds 6,000 cubic meters (1.5 million gallons) of water. Organization, design and construction took two years. Local residents’ labor built the reservoir, which is half the cost. Now they utilize the reservoir water for irrigating farms & gardens, raising livestock, constructing bricks and buildings, fishing, reforestation, and business development. Schools are expanding with more healthy children. With water, hard work is magical! Two more villages are organized and ready to build water reservoirs. Estelle Kabore, Executive Director of l’Association Zood Noogo, and her team in Burkina Faso, are tapping the capability of the villagers of Doulou and Ramongo to build and manage new water reservoirs. One water reservoir costs $50,000. Cash is used to pay for design, heavy equipment, and materials. Villagers contribute their labor. $50,000 is needed to construct two new reservoirs. No pity please!
