Godaguéne Well

Godaguéne is a little village (2,000+ pop. in 2003) located three hours from the city in a predominately Muslim community with little access to roads or electricity.  In 2005 a church was started yet has remained small despite the initial draw of curiosity. On my first visit to the village to discuss 'economic development' they shared with me their desire to have a closer well in their village. The well is 1 km away and the women spend 4 to 6 hours a day just walking back and forth from the well.  In the past they thought an outside organization would help them but nothing has ever happened.  

I agreed to try and help them have a closer well put in if they would find the land, hire an experienced work crew and take care of them for the duration of the well construction.  They agreed to this and obtained permission from the village chief and found an experienced crew to  dig the well.  Now they need outside partners to invest in the cost of the well construction ($3, 150) If you would like to donate to the Godaguéne well, please send donations to MTW P.O.
