Last week, the community of Ponigo #2 came together to celebrate the inauguration of their brand-new solar upgraded well, and it was a celebration worth having!
Our Leadership Coaches, My Lovely Joseph and Duniot Bien-Aime, were on hand for the festivities, joined by the Mayor of Ferrier, Ms. Yvette, who came out to celebrate alongside the community she serves.
Here's what makes this moment truly special: the full training for this community was led not by our team, but by the Mayor and the Communal Council themselves. That's right, local leadership stepped up and delivered the training that will help this community sustain clean water access for years to come.
This is HUGE.
It's a powerful example of what our model is all about: coaching leaders so they can lead. The Communal Council was coached by our team members Duniot Bien-Aime and Roge Michel, and they took that training and ran with it, bringing their own community across the finish line.
When leadership takes root like this, the impact doesn't stop at one well. It multiplies.
The celebration was nothing short of joyful: a choir filled the air with song, community leaders shared heartfelt speeches, and the well received a special blessing to mark this new chapter.
Congratulations to Ponigo #2, the Communal Council, and Mayor Yvette on this incredible achievement!
A big thank you to the Janesville Noon Rotary Club for sponsoring this well and to Pymedia-Pignon for capturing these beautiful moments. View the full photo album and video clips from the event here.
