Work goes ahead in Pallo. After carrying out the tenders for various trades in the fall of 2015, the delegation of our partners “Hilfe für Afrika, Wasser für den Senegal e.V.”
has obtained an overview of the progress of the construction in January of 2016.
1 km of the total 7 km long route for the water pipes to the surrounding villages was already dug out at that point. The laying of the pipes was carried out parallel and should be finished by the end of February or beginning of March.
The start of building a water tower, which will be 15 m tall and will have 100 cubic meters water content, will begin in 2 – 3 weeks. The estimated construction time is about 2 month. The photovoltaic system for the solar pump will start in the course of the year. A search for a local specialized company, which is suitable for the contract, is currently under way. The goal is to be able to start operation at the facility by the end of the year.
The construction of a 2-hectare garden is going to be started in the beginning of 2017 and gradual trickle irrigation is going to be installed. Appropriate soil samples are currently being carried out.
In a small ceremony with the bishop in the capital of Pallo, the villages were given the joyful news that the water supply system for Pallo was officially under contract.
The joy over that news was tremendous.
The cost of the project is 145,000 Euros.

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.
