Bafoussam is an important town in North-West Cameroon. The CCVH is home to a nursery school, primary school, sports centre and a library, but this infrastructure was hampered by a chronic water shortage.

To address the issue, Asomocam began digging a borehole and installing a pressure pump supplied by solar panels, all with the support of the Veolia Foundation. The first phase was completed in October: groundwater was located at roughly 80m. The water supply system planned by the association will be installed on time. On completion, 320 pupils will benefit from this new water source.
