"The impact of SFW on health is undeniable. It is the subject that stands out most strongly in all discussions and through all the questionnaires. More than 90% of the respondents say they feel an improvement in their health and see an improvement in the general health of those around them. For more than 67%, the improvement in health is even the biggest change perceived since the arrival of SFW.

The opinion of the medical staff confirms this result. The medical records that we have had the opportunity to go through (unfortunately without the possibility of having copies) show a very clear decrease in cases of hypertension and diarrhoea since the installation of the machines. The nurse on Diogane Island tells us that the number of consultations for diarrhoea has dropped from 50 per month to 4-5 since water has become available on their island. In addition to the decrease in stomach aches, cases of parasitic diseases have decreased and effects on teeth are being seen in areas with fluoride in the water. In all the health posts visited, the discourse was the same. The health staff stated that they find Diam'O water of high quality and that they only drink this water, which they recommend to all patients, especially pregnant women and the elderly. Awareness is also being raised among young mothers to use this water in the making of their baby's bottles.

For the record, the president of the women's group of Diamniadio, during the meeting with the village chief and all the local authorities, announced that all the children born after 2011 (the year of the installation of the machine), have perfectly white teeth, whereas before that, a majority of the children suffered from fluorosis (black teeth)."
