Success Story

Tanambao

In 2023, after a successful annual corporate fundraising quiz the previous year, Tanambao was just one of the locations who were able to benefit from the construction of a sustainable water source by Feedback Madagascar.

Location

Tanambao village is located in Kelilalina rural municipality in the Ifanadiana district of Vatovavy region of southeast Madagascar.

Beneficiaries

This well benefits more than 375 local residents.

Objectives

To provide a safe, sustainable and accessible water source for local community members.

Project Background

Inhabitants of Tanambao previously fetched water from a small river, or an old open traditional spring, both of which were visibly dirty and contaminated, particularly during the rainy and cyclone season. The water was used for all purposes, whether for washing people, laundry and dishes, as well as for drinking and cooking; this contributed to a high prevalence of diarrhoeal disease and fevers.

The End Result

The water source is now within the village, making it less time consuming and more accessible for community members to collect daily water supplies. The water is safe to drink, and the infrastructure will be maintained by the three village maintenance technicians and the water management committee that were established and trained during the project. The incidence of water-related illnesses should reduce within the village, enabling more capacity for education and employment.
