Association Omigbefite

Omigbefite is a non-profit community education and economic development society founded in 2005 in Loropeni, Burkina Faso currently seeking funds for drilled well construction to improve community access to clean water. Initially organized in 2005 as a community charity working to feed and educate orphan children, Omigbefite has expanded it's scope over the years to become a more general non-profit social and economic development society with education projects on Ebola and the toxicity of cyanide and mercury and projects in animal husbandry, gardening, mango cultivation and most recently the construction of wells and water distribution systems. Omigbefite means: to help a brother in despair in the language of the Lopi people. The organization plans to focus its efforts in the next few years on the construction of drilled wells and water systems in a region that receives adequate rainfall in the rainy season but suffers very limited access to clean water in the dry season. These drilled wells will provide improved water quality throughout the year.
