So far we have been able to change the lives of more than 25.000 people by providing access to clean drinking water, hygiene and sanitation education, pit latrine constructions in just one and a half year.

June 22-30th, Thirst Relief team visited Cameroon and we had a wonderful time organizing and training communities on a three day hygiene and sanitation training workshop where we had more than 40 participants from different regions of Cameroon.
