Unicef_Mbuji-Mayi_WASH_aménagement des sources de Mutonji_15.10.2021-6.jpg

            Kabebedi Kanda, 10 ans, puise de l’eau dans une source d’eau aménagée par l’UNICEF dans le quartier de Mutonji à Mbuji-Mayi, dans la province du Kasaï oriental, en République démocratique du Congo, le 15 octobre 2021. Dans ce quartier pauvre de Mbuji-Mayi, les plus de 9000 habitants avaient pour habitude de puiser l’eau directement dans la rivière située à proximité, ou dans quelques sources non aménagées. Depuis 2015, les épidémies de choléra sont récurrentes à chaque saison des pluies. En 2020, 23 cas de choléra ont été déclarés entrainant la mort d'une personne. Pour Kabebedi Kanda, l’aménagement de cette source a été un soulagement. « Avec l’eau de puits que nous buvions, j’avais souvent des douleurs au ventre car elle n’était vraiment pas propre. A chaque fois qu’il pleuvait l’eau devenait boueuse. Mais nous n’avions pas le choix car le réseau de distribution d’eau potable de mon quartier est payant et mes parents n’ont pas d’argent. Maintenant, je suis content d’avoir de l’eau propre », témoigne-t-elle. Pour lutter contre le choléra et prévenir les maladies d’origine hydrique, l’UNICEF a financé les travaux d’aménagement de 3 sources dans le quartier de Mutonji, et 23 sources dans tout le Kasai-Oriental.     /     10-year-old Kabebedi Kanda draws water from a water source developed by UNICEF in the Mutonji neighborhood of Mbuji-Mayi, Kasai Oriental province, Democratic Republic of Congo, on October 15, 2021. In this poor district of Mbuji-Mayi, the more than 9,000 inhabitants used to draw water directly from the river located nearby, or from a few undeveloped sources. Since 2015, cholera epidemics have been recurrent in every rainy season. In 2020, 23 cases of cholera were declared resulting in the death of one person. For Kabebedi Kanda, the development of this spring has been a relief. “With the water I used to drink, I often had pain in my abdomen because it was really not clean. Every time it rained the water got muddy. But we had no choice because the drinking water distribution network in my neighborhood is chargeable and my parents have no money. Now I'm happy to have clean water, ”she says. To fight cholera and prevent water-borne diseases, UNICEF has funded the development of 3 springs in the Mutonji district, and 23 springs throughout Kasai-Oriental.
