Roger Lamah – Water, Hygiene and Sanitation Manager for PK3 camp in Bria

Hello. I’m Roger Lamah, I’m in charge of water, hygiene and sanitation for MSF France here in Bria. We supply water for the 24,000 displaced people living in PK3 camp.
ONSCREEN TEXT –Roger Lamah, Water, Hygiene and Sanitation Manager, WALK & TALK – Water Distribution in PK3 camp, Bria – filmed 30th August 2017

We’ve drilled a borehole so we can supply 180m3 a day. We’ve installed these water bladders, each with a storage capacity of 60m3. This means we can transport 180 cubic metres of water a day to PK3. This pump transfers the water from the bladders into these trucks here. It’s then transported to the displaced people living in PK3 who don’t otherwise have access to water. They can’t leave the camp, so water has to be brought to them.
ONSCREEN TEXT – MSF HOSPITAL IN BRIA. Borehole – Chlorine - Cl2 - Water bladders –180m3 of water transported to PK3 camp - PK3 is located 3km from the well/drill – 24,000 people living in PK3 camp –Water treated with chlorine to make it safe to drink

This truck runs back and forth, making six deliveries a day. So we’ll head off now to the camp…
ONSCREEN TEXT – 3 10m3 TRUCKS ROTATE – PK3 IS 3km FROM THE BOREHOLE MUSLIM NEIGHBOURHOOD – NO MAN’S LAND - FORMER CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOURHOOD – INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS: 20 LITRES OF WATER PER PERSON PER DAY – TO MEET THESE STANDARDS, ANOTHER BOREHOLE WILL BE BUILT IN PK3 -– MINUSCA CHECKPOINT (UN MISSION) – PK3 CAMP - RESERVOIRS

This is the distribution area in PK3 where MSF supplies water to the displaced people living in the camp. This is the water distribution sites we’ve set up. So the truck transports the water. The water is then transferred to water bladders via these water pumps. Each water bladder can store up to 15m3. These bladders are then linked up to water distribution ramps to supply the inhabitants. There are 3 ramps, each with 12 taps. Water isn’t medical care but, with no water, there is no medical care. I’m really proud that me and the team can provide water to people in distress. We’re very proud.
