Your commitment - Uganda 2017
The project work with TOOLS FOR LIFE has given me the opportunity to help others to help themselves and to noticeably improve their quality of life. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

The project managers from “Help for Africa – Water for Senegal e.V.” have been able to locate very dry and water-needy areas in the Diourbel region around Dakar. In this region, 27 villages with approx. 15,000 residents can be found. Many village residents have had to leave their villages in the last years because of the lack of water. The younger generation is moving because they no longer see any real prospects – the villages are slowly but surely “bleeding out”.
To actively work to reverse the water shortage, TOOLS FOR LIFE and “Help for Africa – Water for Senegal e.V.” decided on and implemented a deep well construction. With special drilling units, a depth of approx. 120 meters was drilled. Using a diesel power generator the water was transported to an approx. 25-meter high water tower and there, with the help of a pressure booster system, pumped into the supply pipelines from where it was then distributed to the villages.

My TOOLS FOR LIFE staff trip to Senegal in 2012 was a unique experience. And the fact that I was standing on a meadow where today, after only two years, there is a school for several hundred pupils, which the Foundation helped to finance, is almost unbelievable. Great cause and great projects that make a little bit of a difference in the world.
