Après POLIO-PLUS, le ROTARY INTERNATIONAL se
fixe un nouveau défi mondial fournir de lEAU
POTABLE au plus grand nombre possible dhommes
sur notre terre
After POLIO-PLUS, the ROTARY INTERNATIONAL gives
itself a new targetsupply DRINKING WATER to
the most possible people around the world
3
Water is almost everywhere in the world but it
is not always potable  
For example, this one seems clean
4
but can give diseases like - BILHARZIASIS, -
DYSENTERY,- WOUNDS INFECTION,-  
5
This may lead to serious problemsin countries
where hospitals and free clinics are rare, not
properly equipped and do not have the required
medicines
6
It is the situation in Democratic Republic of
CONGO, in KATANGA province
where lives one of the poorest population of
Africa, despite huge mining resources
7
To obtain some clean water, natives are digging
wells where the water table is close to the
ground level however this water is
seldom potable !
8
In september 2005 the Rotary Club of LIEGE
proposed to his friends of FOLKESTONE,
KOLN-AM-RHEIM and LILLE to undertake the project
to install 40 wells in Katanga
All accepted !
9
We were joined by the Clubs of BRUXELLES
ERASME
of BRUXELLES SUD of HUY RONDIA and the
DISTRICT 1630 
The Club of LUBUMBASHI ETOILE, our local
partner, will start the project in August 2006
10
The wells will be located along the roads
from
LUBUMBAHI to KINIAMA
from LUBUMBASHI to KASENGA
They will supply potable water to 51.250
inhabitants
11
The Rotary Clubs of Liège and of Lubumbashi
trust in the non-profit-making organisation
MIKEMBO which selected the villages where the
wells have to be drilled, to maximize the
population benefiting from our project

Before drilling a well, one has to find the right
place where the underground river is flowing
So much the better when it is located close to
a clinic or a school that has not yet access to
drinking water !
13
Then people proceed to drill (from 20 to 40 m)
...  
14
Then the well duct is sheathed and the pump
foundation is built
15
The lift pump is operated manually. It is sturdy
and maintenance is easy.
16
No need of engine and fuel. Water is potable
as proved by analysis made by MIKEMBO !
17
The VILLAGE CHIEF watches at the well maintenance
MIKEMBO taught him how to do and how to react
when necessary
18
The VILLAGE is responsible for the proper use of
the well 
People are requested not to waste water and to
allow visitors to use it !
19
This project aims at helping the rural population
to convince people that to stay in villages
is preferable to migrate to shantytown of major
cities
20
Our project wants to help the woman and
the child whom have to take care of the
water-chore
21
The women wont have to carry water so long
and children will have more time to study at
school !
22
Together, we participate to take up the ROTARY
INTERNATIONAL new worlwide challenge

Thanks a lotfor your attention
