Obtaining drinking water is a great problem for many people living in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. Many wells are polluted; public water sources are usually far away, and mobile water sellers charge high prices. Setting up further public taps and water connections will give residents access to safe drinking water and thus lay the foundations for better health.
