Réservoirs d'eau ferrocement : une ressource vitale pour les communautés
These tanks positively impact health, hygiene, and sustainable development in remote villages that lack access to clean water and electricity, empowering these rural communities.
Accès à Eau propre can transform people’s lives by improving hygiène, health, and food security dans le remote villages where the Fair Future Foundation operates. The Water Connections program addresses this critical need by building Ferrocement water tanks in remote areas where essential resources such as electricity, healthcare, and Eau propre are non-existent. Accessing these communities often requires crossing paths only passable by our well-equipped 4×4 truck, for example, the Truck of Life.
However, despite all the obstacles encountered, we are undeterred from fulfilling our commitment to provide Eau potable and continue to build dozens of tanks et assainissement facilities for these marginalized et isolated populations.
The construction of these réservoirs d'eau serves as a testament to the force et collaborative spirit of humanity. Despite the lack of electricity or water resources, we depend on physique effort, Expertise, and strong détermination to enhance the lives of these communities. By partnering with other villagers in the surrounding area, we share knowledge for development purposes, démocratiser these communities to become self-reliant. Cela exchange guarantees that our efforts have lasting impacts beyond our team’s initial contribution.
“Eau propre is the most affordable medicine in the world. By building ferro-ciment reservoirs, we empower communities to safeguard their health, prevent disease, and secure their future.”

Water Connections: The Cost of a 500-Liter Lifesaving Water Tank
Building a 5000-litre ferro-cement water reservoir in highly remote areas goes beyond providing Eau propre; it invests in the health and future of entire communities. The construction process is labour-intensive, requiring eight days de manual work, often without electricity and in challenging conditions. Transporting materials to these isolated villages adds complexity, as “roads” are challenging to navigate, and access to resources is limited.
Despite these challenges, the cost of constructing such a reservoir is relatively low—approximately 12 million IDR or around 700 Swiss francs. This modest sum provides clean water to hundreds of people, often more than 50 families, with children constituting about 60% of the beneficiaries. For just +/-700 Swiss francs, you can help transform a community by giving them access to Eau propre, significantly réduire disease, improving health, and improving overall quality of life.
If you wish to contribute to this life-changing program, your support can help us build the next reservoir, bringing Eau propre and hope to those who need it most. I need it most.
