Water has become liquid gold in some areas in Cameroon. Women are usually seen in Worlode queuing for water. Portable water has become increasingly rare in the far north of Cameroon due to lack of drilling.
Tokombere, Mokio, Takamsa and many other localities in northern Cameroon are not well housed. In these villages, women are also forced to travel miles, or dig holes in the sand to collect water.
The water got from these holes are clearly unfit for consumption with risks of waterborne diseases.
Meanwhile, the Cameroonian State is set to release 4 billion CFA Francs for the emergency construction of water wells in this part of the country.
