Three pirogues are tied up because the nets are torn. Replacing them puts those crews back on the water.
The communal tap is dry three days a week. A borehole on the chapel plot would cut the walk to water.
Farmers walk their maize to a mill across town and pay twice. A shared hammer mill would keep that money in the cooperative.
Mothers are asked to bring gloves, cotton, and a basin. Many arrive from the villages with none of it.
The night nurse sees malaria, cuts, and labour emergencies. The drug cupboard is empty by the second week of each month.
Traders lose crates of tomatoes overnight. A shared cold room would keep a day's stock until the morning market.
Families queue before dawn for a single standpipe. A borehole and tank would serve about 400 households.
