Bamako / Flood: ” VIP mothers ” to the aid of the Sotuba cemetery

–

Last Tuesday, heavy rains caused flooding in several districts of Bamako. Several places were flooded including the cemetery of Sotuba. Several damages were caused but the help was not lacking.

The flood ravaged much of the Sotuba cemetery. Some graves have collapsed. They were totally flooded with water the whole week.

To save this situation, it took a group of women called “VIP Moms”. To suck up the water spilled in the cemetery, “Les mums VIP” undertook to do everything possible to save the cemetery. “When we noticed that the cemetery was flooded, we launched a distress call to people of good will through our WhatsApp group. We were able to mobilize tank trucks in order to suck in water ”, explains a member of the group, Ms. Soumounou Fatoumata Diallo.

VIP moms did not limit themselves to just sucking up the water that had flooded the graves, but also seeking to prevent other disasters like this. According to Ms. Soumounou, a large collector will be built in front of the cemetery which will be connected to the central collector in order to avoid another disaster.

“VIP mothers” call on the authorities and people of good will to join hands in order to find a definitive solution to the floods.

“VIP Moms” is a group of women that was created from WhatsApp. It is apolitical and non-profit.
