The Togolese government has taken another step towards achieving its goal of providing clean water for all by 2030 with the acquisition of a seventh borehole drilling rig. The rig, named "Hêzou," which means "peace" in the Kabyè language, was received by the Ministry of Water and Sanitation on November 3 in Lomé. The rig, capable of drilling up to 450 meters deep, was acquired through Sara Group and is expected to help address the country's water scarcity issues.
According to the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, over 4,000 localities in Togo still lack access to clean water. The acquisition of the "Hêzou" rig is part of the government's efforts to bridge this gap. The rig will be used to drill new boreholes and provide clean water to communities in need. The Ministry estimates that 231 new boreholes are needed to meet the current demand for clean water.
The "Hêzou" rig is a modern and high-performance machine, equipped with a cabin for drilling teams. It is a Sinotruk Howo 6×4 model, specifically designed for hydraulic drilling works. The rig's acquisition is a significant boost to the Ministry's efforts to provide clean water to Togolese communities. The Ministry's goal is to ensure that all Togolese have access to clean water by 2030.
The Togolese government, under the leadership of President Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, has made significant investments in the water sector to improve access to clean water. The acquisition of the "Hêzou" rig is a testament to the government's commitment to achieving its goal of providing clean water for all. The rig will help to reduce the reliance on expensive and unreliable water supply systems.
The Ministry of Water and Sanitation has already received six other borehole drilling rigs, which have been deployed to various parts of the country. The addition of the "Hêzou" rig will enhance the Ministry's capacity to drill new boreholes and provide clean water to communities in need. The Ministry's efforts to provide clean water have also contributed to promoting social cohesion and peace in communities.
Water is considered a key factor in promoting peace and stability in communities. The Togolese government recognizes the importance of water in promoting social cohesion and has made significant investments in the water sector. The "Hêzou" rig is expected to play a critical role in providing clean water to communities and promoting peace and stability.
The acquisition of the "Hêzou" rig is a significant milestone in the government's efforts to provide clean water for all. The Ministry of Water and Sanitation is committed to ensuring that all Togolese have access to clean water by 2030. With the "Hêzou" rig, the Ministry is one step closer to achieving this goal.
