Elected Government Officials for Fondwa

GMf and APF teams had the privilege of meeting with the Leaders of the 10th Communal Section, Fondwa.  Adam Innocent (3rd from right back row) is the President of the Counsel.   

These elected official work hand in hand with the community.  They stated there were three main areas of concern: water and sanitation, agriculture, and reforestation.  They seek better jobs for the peasants and hope for new techniques for agriculture.  They shared, 

"Before the earthquake we had problems with water access.  APF has made a lot of efforts to capture water.   After the earthquake, problems of water are worse; springs are dry.  Also housing is a big problem for the peasants.   We seek water pump, community-owned, for Tombegateau, which is the APF commercial center. 

On the side of energy no efforts have been made to create energy-efficient systems.

This is like a flower to bloom.  It opens your heart to receive it.  We ask the community to remain strong and believe there is hope."
