Andranomiely Water Project

The specks across the valley at the base of the mountain are the houses of Manazary, the village that will be receiving a clean water system sponsored by Humanitarian Services. This is part of our first water project of 2009. In the valley below is the barren rice fields that will be a brilliant green in another three months.

This is life in the country commune of Andranomiely.The man is busy sifting sand. The sand is then sold for use in plaster and cement. The fruit stand in the background is a common sight and is a prime source of income for the poorer people. The dogs sleep all day and roam and bark all night.


The official agreement documents covering the local Commune, the Contractors and LDS Humanitarian Services are formally signed in the lush community center at Andranomiely and is witnessed by many of the local townsfolk. The Commune Mayor is in the center with the two contractors are on each end
