HISTORY and RESULTS
Our activities started in 2010 with the " Inventory-Diagnostic Repairs " project in the Oriental Logone region of southern Chad which was thenextended in 2012 to the Logone Occidental. This project made it possible to evaluate the general condition of water supplies to communities in these regions and to assess the means required to achieve our aims.
