As part of its program to improve the health of the poorest people by access to basicservices, CODEGAZ implements an annual deep drilling program of rehabilitation of drinking water, construction new boreholes and latrine blocks for schools.

Among 15 villages around Koudougou located in the province of Boulkiemde, 7 were chosen primarily in order to benefit of these programs; among these, that of Rogho, whose rehabilitation was originally requested by villagers at PatrickRischard, our volunteer colleague died on 17 May 2014, was dedicated to him.

To supply drinking water to four classes of Nongtaaba school, a drill nine wascompleted and now enjoys 300 school children. For each of these works, localpeople staff established of hygiene rules were created to care for pumpmaintenance and maintain the facilities.

They are supervised by a Burkinabe technician under contract with CODEGAZ. Withthis access to drinking water and sanitation works, 9 000 people can enjoy a goodquality water and improved hygiene during the whole year.

structure built for accessto water and sanitation



In remote rural villages in the province of Banteay Manchey (Northwest ofCambodia) lives poor people who don’t have access to safe drinking water and sanitation systems worthy of the 21st century, and further, remain in ofteninaccessible regions due to the weather. This situation leads to serious waterbornediseases, and the inhabitants of these villages, if nothing is done to help them,must be supplied in ponds where the quality of the water is unfit for consumption

Also, since the sanitary facilities are lacking in, it leads to other diseases becauseof the pollution of scarce water sources through feces. To remedy this situation,CODEGAZ, in coordination with the partner association "Aide à l’Enfant réfugié"(AER), acts, since 2010, in these areas for the construction of drinking water wellsand sanitation facilities.

The corresponding program completed in spring 2014 has built this year fourwells of drinking water in 2 villages and 13 latrines in two villages. In total on thisprogram, 32 holes in 4 villages and 153 latrines in 6 villages were built.

Following an audit about end of project by CODEGAZ, after a series of controlledwater testing several drilling, and verifying the proper operation of the peoplelocal staff, filtration equipment water, individual or collective, have been found invarious groups of beneficiaries.

Thus, approximately 4200 people now receiving drinking water quality andsignificantly improved sanitary conditions.

Access to the bathroom is a recurring problem in India and schools, whenequipped with latrines, often have outdated and inadequate facilities.

School canteens are often non-existent, and in this case, children eat out. As forspace "kitchen", they are usually without external evacuation, and therefore notregulatory; Health canteen is strongly affected by this fact.

In the continuity of actions in previous years, Petronet, GDF SUEZ partner, andCODEGAZ collaborated to build:

• three blocks of latrines;• a new kitchen;• a canteen room;

in five schools in the Phutivupu town, next to Kochi.

Of the three villages, "Kiriibbanwewa Village", "Kiriibbanwewa Temple" and"Sinhapura Village"(District of Anuradhapura), several studies were conducted:

• construction of 17 latrines;

• creation of a rainwater catchment over a length of 20 m either side of a roofwith PVC connection to a tank of 10 m3, rehabilitation of existing pipelines. The water is re-used by the villagers for the shower, laundry etc ...;

• construction of three deep wells with installation of three manual pumps;

• in parallel, construction of a water tower in 4000 liters (drinking water and dripirrigation).

All these facilities operate for the delight of the villagers.

About 800 people (villagers and school children) attended training on hygieneand good health practices.

The villages have adopted measures to ensure the sustainable operation of drilling, and for that created people local staff.

In 2014 in Burkina Faso, CODEGAZ CODEGAZ built most of College in the village of Kassou (commune of Koudougou Boulkiemde Province), near the elementaryschool already built under the supervision of CODEGAZ in 2012.

This will receive approximately 320 students in installments beginning in earlyapril 2015. This project has been indispensable for students of Kassou andsurrounding villages, which in end of primary education, will finally to integrate anestablishment of the second degree.

Indeed, due to the lack of space in existing public establishments in the city ofKoudougou, but especially the remoteness from the village of Kassou from thesesschools, many pupils were forced, as often happens in areas rural, renouncecontinue their education.

For college, another electrification project of classrooms is envisaged for late 2015or early 2016.

The association "Futur in the Present" (FAP) works in Ziguinchor in Senegal since2012. Its main purpose is to get out of the street children who live there, welcomethem in a safe place and tailored to their needs, and reintegrate socially. Hismajor challenge is to act in depth to transform their lives. A first shelter establishedin 2012 hosts thirty children. After a mandatory period of stability of the child'sschooling or training, it is taken care of before his rehabilitation, or in his familythrough mediation or in a suitable environment for its development. Dependingon the context, sponsorship can be very beneficial to him both in this support, as in the creation of lasting emotional relationship.

Since late 2013, a new program consists of 2 components is set up:

• one on the creation of a home for Education open since October 2014, whoseobjective is to welcome girls out of school in the early work situation. A first multi-purpose room is operational, the second, the second, consisting of a library,opened its doors in early March 2015. A boarding will complete the entire site;

• the other on the development of income-generating activities (IGA) by theexploitation of market gardening (8 ha) with, the key, several objectives:- food self-sufficiency of children welcomed into the FAP structures,- financial viability for the operating budgets of the said structures,- job creation and participation in local economic development,- dissemination of good practices (organic farming).

Since late 2014, the first step is operational: vegetables are grown on an area of 2 ha whose productions are expected in mid 2015.

Following a mission to the end of December 2014, CODEGAZ involved in boardingschool construction project of the house for education, research financing withother partners. The beginning of construction which it will project management isscheduled for the end of 2015. CODEGAZ also instructed the second componentof the project IGA - income generating activities - in relation to the FAP dedicatedteam; the development of extension (2 to 8 ha) is provided in 2 stages, in the endof 2015 then 2016. 60 small school girls and their indirect beneficiaries families.

In 2014, the FEC initiated the installation of a vocational training center inagricultural techniques in Dalat, main Vietnamese vegetable production area,where there are 150,000 small farmers. To support this project, CODEGAZassured in the overall management and provided technical expertise.

This center is intended, first, to provide annual training (vegetable worker,gardeners, commerce trade) to 10 young people from families poorest farmers inthe Dalat region, techniques for sustainable agriculture environmentally to improvetheir employability and reduce poverty. Better trained, they will be easily hired inthe region and more likely to stay in rural areas to settle and live in dignity.

In addition, it will meet the demand of farmers and cooperatives Dalat producingvegetable plants such as strawberries aboveground potato plants from plantsderived from in vitro culture. It will also offer services to market gardeners, withmedium-term ambition to become a center of services and advice on innovativetechniques for gardeners.

Finally, thanks to revenue from the sale of its production and services, the centerwill support an inviting 150 children education center street in Ho Chi Minh Cityand employability center receiving 12 young disabled in Nha Trang.

In 2014, the construction of the center building was carried to completion. The firstgreenhouse and laboratory for the production of potato plants by the in vitrotechnique are operational and the first sales are expected in late 2015.

Faced with declining agricultural yields, the narrowness of the plots, and theinadequacy of traditional methods to deal with soil depletion and scarcity of waterresources in the context of climate change and urbanization growing, farmersfrom Bama (region of the “Hauts-bassins”) expressed a need for sustainablesolutions to address the risk of food insecurity and fight against growing poverty.

To answer this, CODEGAZ and AMAPAD, his Burkinabe partner, have implementeda multi-year training program on the System of Rice Intensive (SRI) and ecologicalgardening.

Thanks to technical SRI learned from training by Pierre BELEM and AMAPAD team,now 524 farmers cultivate 576 hectares of rice with SRI, reaching an average yieldof 8 t / ha, doubling from the traditional method (4 t / ha). In addition, to promotethe dissemination of good practice SRI in farmers, 72 relay farmers have receivedextensive training and advise their colleagues present in everyday life.

For the organic gardening activity, now a total of 227 farmers cultivate 107 hectaresof vegetables, allowing a wider diversification of food and a further increase inrevenues. In addition, 25 relay farmers have received extensive training on bestpractices and market gardening, they can now effectively advise other farmers.

At the end of the program, that led to a substantial reduction of food deficitsassociated with the lean season, 5000 people have recorded an improvement infood security. Poverty has decreased and the level of financial income increased,enabling farm families to assume more easily essential expenses such as schoolfees for children and medical expenses.

strengths of this important success and to meet the growing demand of thepeople around Bama, also face similar challenges, CODEGAZ and AMAPAD planto achieve by 2015 a new training program at SRI and gardening for the peasantsto Bama , the surrounding villages of Bama and Samandéni area. In addition, toalso address the energy issues, environmental and climate, the program plans tobuild biodigesters with selected farmers to produce biogas (cooking and lighting),as well as bio-digestate that will be used as fertilizer to promote soil restoration.

In previous projects in the Menabe region (southwest of Madagascar), CODEGAZhad made the finding of a food insecurity and increasing poverty due to the limitedsize of the plots and insufficient agricultural yields linked with traditional cultivationpractices.

In response to this situation, a farmers training program on techniques of System ofRice Intensification (SRI) and market gardening had been achieved previously in threevillages. In 2014, CODEGAZ and GCD, his partner, have extended the training programfor farmers further five villages of this region. Thus, despite the passage of severalhurricanes, 34 rice farmers have cultivated 30 hectares of rice according to themethod of SRI and this has significantly increase their production (yield of 5 t / hacompared to 1 t / ha with the technique traditional). In addition, training in gardeningand the fight against pests to 44 farmers who do not have ricefield has helpedgrown successfully 2 hectares of vegetables, and diversify their sources of food andincome. As part of the program, three wells drilled have also been set up in villagesof this region, which will significantly reduce the high infant mortality and the highrate of digestive diseases.

Two experiments (using a micro-irrigation system and use of Ramial Chipped Wood- RCW for soil fertilization), conducted in cooperation with GCD and Initiation CentrePractice Baobab, showed encouraging results. Finally, the SRI School component,consisting of an introduction based on a pedagogy of observation centered on theSRI, has been set up for the benefit of 750 pupils of the schools of the villagesconcerned.

In conclusion, the program has had a positive impact on food security and povertyreduction peasant families. In particular, we note that the revenue generated by riceand vegetable growers surpluses helped support more easily the children's schoolfees or medical expenses.

Set up by CODEGAZ and its local partner GCD in 2011, "Abundant Rice for Morarano",the training program System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and gardening for the poorpeasants of the common Morarano, expired.

902 farmers trained in SRI grew 244 hectares of rice fields, averaging a doubling of yields with 7.47 t / ha against 2 t / ha for traditional culture.

116 farmers were trained in ecological gardening, promoting the diversification of their food and income sources.

Finally, to ensure the spread of SRI among the population after the withdrawal of theprogram, 20 relay farmers have received extensive training, enabling them in thefuture to train and advise their fellow farmers every day.

The impact study conducted to measure the effectiveness of the program hasachieved tangible and significant progress:

• food security: a shorter half the lean period (8 months to 4 months) was foundamong farmers practicing SRI;• poverty reduction: over 70% of practicing SRI and farmers market gardening

recorded an increase in investment income;• welfare: increased income due to rice and vegetable growers surplus has

allowed households more easily finance the purchase of agriculturalequipment, repairs on their homes, medical expenses, children's school fees,rent land for the extension of the practice of SRI.

Following the success of the program and to extend the spread of SRI and ecologicalgardening in Itasy region CODEGAZ and GCD decided to implement a similarprogram in the cantons of Morarano and 6 cantons of 3 new neighboring towns.

As part of the actions of CODEGAZ in the fight against nutritional deficiencies,especially with spirulina, this project is intended to produce and distribute to awide audience, including children, sweets enriched with spirulina. This project is innovative because it is proposing immediate consumables and attractiveproducts while masking the taste of spirulina. Enrichment 3% spirulina provides a daily maintenance amount to prevent deficiencies.

Principle: In a large spinning copper, seeds (example : roasted peanuts) arecoated successively with cassava starch, spirulina, jam and by a sugar syrupwhich panned product. After packaging, the product is ready for consumption.

The manufacturing process has been developed in conjunction with a nutritionistand sweets manufacturer who has given top. After transferring to Madagascar,technical facilities required for the proper functioning of this material have beenmade, basic equipment provided, and the person responsible was formed.

With this, the pilot was able to function: the distribution is organized with childrenwho enjoy these products.

The next step, production phase of the order of 150 kg / month, includes amenitiesin the local production.

In Madagascar, wood and especially charcoal are mainly used for cooking food,often in semi confined. This leads firstly significant deforestation (22% of the remainingvegetation cover) and soil erosion associated with it, and secondly, in terms ofhealth, many respiratory and eye diseases.

Other hand, there is a loss of soil productivity and lower yields because farmersare overwhelmingly too poor to buy fertilizers for sustainable maintenance of soil fertility.

In order to provide a lasting solution to this problem, CODEGAZ and JIRO, hisMadagascan partner, implemented in 2014 a construction pilot project 6domestic biodigesters for poor farming families in the town of Fianarantsoa (inHigh Matsiatra region on the highlands). These facilities, Indian type with floatingdome and a capacity of 8 m3, can produce from animal biomass a sufficientamount of biogas for cooking food for a family of 7 people and for lighting for a period of 4 hours.

The beneficial effects of the use of biogas are many and are felt in several areas:

• an environmental point of view, it reduces human pressure on land cover and thus deforestation;• then it has a positive impact on the health status of families with reduced

respiratory and eye disease in women and children;• the social sphere is also influenced favorably with stopping the use of wood

or charcoal.

Indeed, the disappearance of the painful chore Research wooden assigned towomen and children, allowing them to focus on other more productive activities(income generating activities for women, schooling for children).

In addition, the digester provides an environmentally friendly solution to the lackof good quality fertilizer, thanks to biodigestat outputs that can be used toeffectively soil amendment.

Finally, the groundwater contamination caused by the spreading of wild pigmanure can be avoided with the transformation and neutralization of the latter in the bio-digester and the composting process.

After the positive results achieved by the pilot project and in the Rush expressedby the population of Fianarantsoa, CODEGAZ and JIRO decided to continue theirefforts with a new program for the construction of 12 biodigesters in 2015.

The improved stoves are a powerful alternative, the health point of view as that of the preservation of the environment, the traditional "fire three stones" used to cooking with the Maasai people. The ICSEE organization working since 2009 to disseminate this technology in a growing number of villages in Tanzania, mostrecently in neighboring countries (Kenya, Uganda).

People could not afford the full price of these improved stoves, this action isbased on subsidies. In partnership, ICSEE and CODEGAZ have decided theestablishment of income generating activities (IGA) to boost the dissemination of these improved stoves. The first deduction activity is the establishment of twograin mills for the manufacture of corn flour. The year 2014 was devoted to thelaunch of a first installation at Mto Wa Mbu, where the "Enhanced improvedstoves " project is located and where the market is very active. 2 women areemployed each month to ensure its operation. It is found that the social impactgenerated by this project is real: first, the "Moulin" has become a place ofmeetings and exchanges for women in surrounding villages vector of informationabout the project "Improved Stoves "and facilitator for its organization. On theother hand, it appears that some women following their period of employment,have acquired confidence in themselves sufficient to engage in small shops in themarkets contributing to the local economy and allowing them more autonomyfinancial. End of 2014, the activity of the mill helped provide an improved stove 10 particularly poor women in villages Losirwa, Esilalei and Selela. ICSEE andCODEGAZ plan to implement the commissioning of the second plant in 2015.

Furthermore, following the recommendations of the mission of CODEGAZ, ICSEEchanged significantly the design of improved stoves: capacity metal and creatingan access hatch for chimney sweeping. Nature of many changes to improvehousehold usage time and security through regular chimney swept.
