In Bir Anezarane, 143 km from Dakhla, the nomadic community relies on water for drinking and to sustain their sheep and camel herds. The region's families are separated, but share a common need and way of life.
Three wells, essential for life in the region, have steadily worsened over the last five years. Recent wind damage revealed a strong need for repair. The Touirfe well, the Win Ferkane well, and the Ouhifert well need to be deepened and restored, and the community has designed solar-powered pumping systems and a reservoir for water storage. They hope to successfully restore the water infrastructure of Bir Anezarane to full functionality.
In the paper report submitted after the participatory planning session, the community wrote, “If we can find a way to fund this project and repair these wells, we are all committed to starting and protecting this project. We hope this project will be implemented by summer.”
