An economic operator from Kongoussi offered on Wednesday, April 05, 2023 in Kongoussi, a borehole equipped with a value of 9 million 500 thousand CFA francs to the commune of Kongoussi for the internally displaced persons of the said city.
The economic operator, Samuel Ouédraogo known as “Samuel Super Marché”, donated a borehole equipped with a 10,000 liter water tower and two standpipes to the town hall of Kongoussi for the internally displaced persons of the said city.
The drilling was handed over to the first vice president of the special delegation, Etienne Sawadogo, for the commune of Kongoussi.
“On behalf of the Kongoussi special delegation, I say thank you to the donor. This drilling comes to relieve us because the beneficiaries needed it,” he said.
He invited them to set up a management committee to manage small breakdowns.
"I want their use to be short-lived because we want them to return home," he said.
For the donor Samuel Ouédraogo, his gesture aims to relieve the internally displaced from water chores.
“Each year, we try to see how to help the populations of Kongoussi. This is how this year, we approached the town hall, which identified the Lioudougou site for us to drill. We had a flow rate of 6 m³/hour and the analysis laboratory certified the quality of the water. It is our modest contribution to relieve IDPs and it is through my company Wendesso forage construction (WFC) that we have achieved it,” explained Samuel Ouédraogo.
The IDP representative suggested that they had a serious water problem.
“We had a water problem. That was solved with this waist support. This Drilling will help relieve IDPs from the communes of Nasséré, Zimtanga Namsiguian and Sabcé. Really we say thank you to the town hall and to Samuel Ouédraogo ”he reacted.
The population of Kongoussi has grown over the past 2 years following the security crisis and there is hope to return to farming this year.
