Benin - Zogbodomey/ Five boreholes equipped with human-powered pumps inaugurated and put into service

Drinking water in the villages of Zoungoundo in Massi, Agbogbohonou in Avlamè, Tanwé center and Gbahoué in Tanwé-Hessou and Oungbèhoundo in the Zoukou district. Financed by the Japanese Embassy in Benin, with the support of the NGO Groupe de Solidarité pour un Développement Universel (OGSDU), at a cost of around fifty million (50,000,000) CFA francs, the boreholes were commissioned on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.

Mayor David Zinsou Towèdjè wants to supply thousands of households and prevent water-borne diseases. For the mayor, the commune of Zogbodomey has sufficient water underground, but bringing this precious liquid to the surface has often been difficult due to the commune's limited resources. Proud of this achievement, David Zinsou Towèdjè promised the representative of the Japanese Ambassador to Benin that he would ensure regular maintenance of the works.

In conclusion, Mayor David Zinsou Towèdjè pointed out that the completion and commissioning of these structures testify to the vitality of relations between Benin and Japan. The Chargé d'affaires of the Japanese Embassy in Benin, Ichijo MITONOBOU, and the President of OGSDU, Léopold AGBOLA ADJE, praised the willingness of the local authorities to help make the project a success.
