Clean drinking water project at Kamakenyen village

Clean water for Kamakenyen! 

We’re happy to announce that the new water well in Kamakenyen Village is complete!

The construction of the water well in Kamakenyen is nearly complete. We expect to finalize the project this week — a major milestone for the village and a reflection of our ongoing commitment to community development in Sierra Leone.

We are deeply grateful to all our supporters and donors who make this work possible. Special thanks to our local partners for their dedication on the ground and to everyone who continues to stand with us in bringing lasting change to remote communities.

In the remote village of Kamakenyen, Sierra Leone, construction is currently underway on a new borehole to provide clean drinking water. This marks the first development initiative of its kind in this long-overlooked community. Wegdam Foundation is the first charitable organization to begin such vital work in the area. Local residents have expressed appreciation for the effort to reach underserved populations in hard-to-reach regions.

The Wegdam Foundation proudly launched a clean drinking water project in Kamakenyen, a remote village in Sierra Leone’s Karene District. This community had long been without access to safe and reliable water — a basic need that many of us take for granted.

In partnership with local stakeholders, we began preparations for the construction of a borehole that would provide sustainable access to clean water. For Kamakenyen, this marked not only the beginning of a construction project, but also the beginning of hope, health, and opportunity.

With the strong support of our donors and the commitment of our local team on the ground, the project quickly gained momentum. The energy and anticipation among residents were tangible — for many, this was the first sign of outside support in decades.

This initiative is part of our broader mission to invest in underserved communities and bring lasting change to areas that are too often forgotten. The journey began with Kamakenyen, but we know it won’t end there.
