The pumping wells are one of the interventions of the partnership, as its approach is to support the entire cocoa community: farmers, women and children. Wells provide vital water and sanitation apart from being a snapshot of the advance women have made in the community, like plant cocoa and vegetables and sell them to get money.
Moreover, before the wells, children didn’t go to school, as they had to walk 3-4 km to get water to drink and to wash. Currently, they can go by bike. The partnership has also set up a Child’s Rights Club, where children are educated about their rights and responsibilities.
