Regional Director of The Water Project Humphrey Buradi and His Excellency The Governor of Vihiga County, Dr. Wilber Khasilwa Ottichilo at MOU signing

L’engagement du Water Project dans l’Ouest du Kenya a commencé il y a plus de 12 ans. L’organisation, qui dirige et travaille par l’intermédiaire du personnel local et des partenaires du réseau, notamment le Western Water and Sanitation Forum (WEWASAFO) et la Friends of Timothy Foundation (FOTF), s’associe aux communautés pour surveiller et entretenir près de 1 300 projets relatifs à l’eau mis en œuvre dans la région. Ces projets hydrauliques ont un impact sur environ 450 000 personnes.

Son excellence le Gouverneur du Comté de Vihiga, Dr Wilber Khasilwa Ottichilo, a déclaré : “L’eau est l’une de nos priorités. Le partenariat [avec The Water Project] prévoit la mise en œuvre d’interventions visant à fournir de l’eau et des installations sanitaires aux habitants de Vihiga.”

The Water Project travaille à une couverture complète de l’eau et de l’assainissement dans ses zones de service, en commençant par le Sous-Comté de Hamisi à Vihiga. L’organisation met en œuvre des programmes d’eau et d’assainissement par le biais du forage de puits, de la réhabilitation de puits, de la protection des sources naturelles, de la collecte des eaux de pluie, de la fourniture d’installations sanitaires et de la promotion de l’hygiène pour les communautés et les institutions vulnérables.

En 2022, The Water Project a réalisé un exercice de cartographie identifiant 16 021 points d’eau publics et privés, dans différents états d’utilisation, afin de comprendre l’étendue réelle du travail nécessaire pour atteindre une couverture en eau de base pour tous les résidents. L’organisation publiera les résultats de ce travail plus tard dans l’année, à mesure que les plans à plus long terme pour la région se préciseront.

“Nous sommes enthousiastes et humbles à l’idée de pouvoir poursuivre et approfondir notre engagement envers la population de l’ouest du Kenya en fournissant un accès à une eau propre, sûre et fiable à ceux qui souffrent aujourd’hui inutilement sans cette ressource”, a déclaré Peter Chasse, Président et Fondateur, The Water Project.

Regional Director of The Water Project Humphrey Buradi and His Excellency The Governor of Vihiga County, Dr. Wilber Khasilwa Ottichilo at MOU signing

“The signing of the MOU represents a continuation of the strong working relationship between Vihiga County Government and The Water Project, acknowledging our joint mission to provide water access to the communities of Vihiga, to ensure the long-term sustainability of WASH infrastructure, and to build and share knowledge among sector actors,” explained Emma Kelly, Program Manager at The Water Project.

The Water Project’s commitment in Western Kenya began over 12 years ago.The organization, leading and working through local staff and network partners, including Western Water and Sanitation Forum (WEWASAFO) and Friends of Timothy Foundation (FOTF), partners with communities to monitor and maintain nearly 1,300 water projects implemented across the region. Those water projects have an impact on approximately 450,000 people.

His Excellency The Governor of Vihiga County, Dr. Wilber Khasilwa Ottichilo shared, “Water is one of our top agendas. The partnership [with The Water Project] envisions implementing interventions to provide water and sanitation facilities to Vihiga residents.”

The Water Project is working towards complete water and sanitation coverage in its service areas, beginning with Hamisi sub-county in Vihiga. The organization implements water and sanitation programs via borehole drilling, well rehabilitation, the protection of natural springs, rainwater harvesting, the provision of sanitation facilities, and hygiene promotion for vulnerable communities and institutions.

In 2022, The Water Project completed a mapping exercise identifying 16,021 public and private water points, in various states of use, to understand the true scope of work needed to reach basic water coverage for all residents. The organization will publish the results of this work later in the year as the longer term plans for the region come into focus.

“We’re excited and humbled to be able to continue and greatly deepen our commitment to the people of Western Kenya as we provide access to clean, safe and reliable water to those who today suffer needlessly without it,” said Peter Chasse, President & Founder of The Water Project.

Josiane Kouagheu
Douala-Cameroun

A l’aéroport international de Douala, une caméra thermique a été installée au point de convergence de deux terminaux d’arrivée des passagers. « 3150 passagers ont été détectés par cette camera. Tout passager qui arrive à l’aéroport passe par un de ces points de terminaux et à ce point de convergence, nous avons placé judicieusement cette camera », explique Dr Martin Yamba, délégué régional de la Santé publique du Littoral. Qui ajoute que parmi les 3150 passagers détectés, certains parmi eux ont été mis en observation.

« Après investigation (détection par la camera thermique ndlr), on peut pouvoir établir avec l’histoire du voyageur, qu’il est un cas suspect ou pas. Tout cas de fièvre entrant dans notre pays doit être détecté. Et maintenant, on va investiguer cette fièvre là car il y a plusieurs causes de fièvre », poursuit Dr Martin Yamba. D’après Dr Victor Kame, coordonateur du Centre régional pour la prévention et la lutte contre les épidémies (Cerple) dans la région du Littoral, la température maximale est de 38°. Si un voyageur dépasse ce degré, il est immédiatement mis en observation.

Des mesures de prévention qui rassurent Dr Rodophe Fonkoua, répresent de l’Ordre des médecins du Cameroun dans la région du Littoral. « L’installation de cette camera est discrète. Si on en fait trop, les passagers vont s’affoler », assure-t-il.

Dr. Richard Fru has been described by many in Cameroon as a traditional medicine practitioner with a new twist. Giving his insight, he has been progressively, introducing, new developments to traditional medicine in Cameroon. In the build to the celebrations marking the 12^th edition of the African Traditional Medicine Day in Cameroon, come August 31, Dr Fru in an exclusive interview with iCameron.comannounced the creation of an institution to train persons interested in the practice of traditional medicine, while

A look of Dr Fru at a press conference in the build up to African Traditional Medicine Day, August 31

denouncing individuals in government circles, who are putting speed brakes to the growth of traditional medicine. He also dismissed talk that there is a cold war between tradi-practitioners and the government of Cameroon.

Excerpts:

What is special about the 12^th edition of the African Traditional Medicine Day in Cameroon?

Journalists at a press conference with Dr Fru at the build to the celebrations marking the 12th edition of the African Traditional Medicine Day in Cameroon

We are coming up with the Institute of Candalogy in Cameroon – The Garden of Eden Naturopathic Institute of Natural Medicine, GENIWA.

What is this institute all about?

We have a lot to offer to Cameroonians, Africans and the rest of the world as far as holistic health is concerned. We are going to train people who are cultured, socially fit and inspired with the knowledge of holistic healing.

How did the inspiration for this institution come about?

I believe it is from the source of life, the master, creator and supreme being of the universe. Our creator, Jehovah God.

How will entrance into this school be organised?

The institute is open to everybody in the society, who have the calling and those who are interested in studying natural medicine. It is open to holders of First School Leaving Certificate to post graduate certificate holders. They will come in and study in the various disciplines in the institution.

For those who are interested, how do they get more information?

We have a website; www.geniwa.org. Google Dr Fru and you will have a lot of information on the internet. Explore the internet and you will get as much information as possible. Our programmes are been giving visibility across media houses in the country. People know where to get the necessary information. In Cameroon, people want to sit at home and breakfast should meet them there. We have to be proactive and go searching for information.

This year’s theme on the African Traditional Medicine Day is on collaboration at all levels with stakeholders in traditional medicine. How is the collaboration unfolding in Cameroon?

We have people who have an insight on traditional medicine and the relationship has been cordial and we collaborate very well. I have contacts with conventional doctors who refer patients to us in GENIWA and I also do refer patients to them. But there are other conventional doctors who do not want to have anything to do with traditional medicine, which is out of ignorance. Generally, we cooperate. There are some conventional hospitals where patients are allowed to be administered traditional medicine, just like we also tolerate conventional medicines, despite some of their shortcomings.

Despite the great efforts some traditional practitioners are putting in, there is still the problems of quacks amongst you people …

It is common everywhere. Though government is putting in all the energy and sensitisation for people to get the right conventional drugs, you will still find people selling fake Paracetamol here and there. Even in the religious domain, you find people moving with loud speakers here and there, claiming to preach the word of God. They make noise the whole place and disturb the peace of others. It is same atmosphere in traditional medicine. What we are doing is to minimise quacks, you cannot eradicate them. The question is; who is a quack? It is the society that is better placed to judge who is a quack. From their fruits, you shall know them.

The cold war continues between government and traditional medicine. What is the way forward?

The government has no war against traditional medicine. It is overzealous individuals, those whose minds have been truncated by western conspiracy, those who are been paid for and have kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies in the west. These are individuals, highly placed in the government, taking advantage of their position(s) to suppress traditional medicine. Government is a government of the people, for the people. Government has good faith but individuals in government have bad faith. People are using their government position to fight us and not a government policy fighting us.

As a tradi-practitioner, what are you doing about the Ebola virus ravaging a good part of West Africa?

Ebola has become a threat not only to the victim but to its master. The whole world is panicking. The Ebola virus has become mad, it has jumped genetical barrier and is now attacking its master. We are working. That is why today, drugs that have not been tested or confirmed can be used against Ebola because it is a threat. We are also working hard to see that we come up with formulae that we are going to use in tackling the virus. I cannot say much, we are yet to detect a case of the Ebola virus in Cameroon but we are working as doctors not only for Cameroon but for humanity. If our brothers in neighbouring countries are suffering from a problem, we should feel for them and come out with a solution that will help them.
