Description of the internship
As part of our work in the field, we have noticed that the village of Tsiniga in the Haho prefecture is facing a water shortage.
We therefore want to draw up a project to supply drinking water, which we will submit to various partners and to calls for projects. The trainees will then design and implement the project. Their knowledge of renewable energy engineering will be useful for the technical aspects of the project. The trainee will go out into the field for the construction phase of the project to experience the reality of the terrain and the daily life of the village communities of Tsiniga.
