From Annemarie Koch, the Swiss Blue Community Kene Elou Te, and their partner, the Blue Community Réseau Ecole RadioChico RERC in Mali:
On 28 November 2025, the well in Telly was inaugurated (see here).
Children and parents are already experiencing the difference, especially in terms of health.
Children from surrounding villages are walking kilometres to Telly because they have noticed that this water does not give them stomach aches.
What particularly touches me is that they already started planting around the well.
Parents and children are designing the place together.
A place for water is becoming a place for life. 🌱
The map here down shows the distances and how many children live in the surrounding villages.
Currently, only Telly has access to clean drinking water.
I will continue to share what a well can change – step by step.
