"We have been deprived of drinking water ro Ti Guinen for 8 years. Yet water is important, water is life [...] The lack of clean water makes children, young people and adults sick [...] Our women suffer from infection. In addition, we are confronted with the problems of latrines and roads..." declared the residents of "Ti Guinen" who announced a new demonstration next Friday to claim, once again drinking water.
