Amman Imman is a Franco-American NGO that has already made it possible to dig several boreholes 200 m deep, and therefore access to drinking water.
MISSION
"Amman Imman: Water is Life" empowers and supports Africa's most vulnerable indigenous peoples and engages students worldwide as socially conscious leaders.
Building climate resilience among Africa's most vulnerable indigenous people.
OUR STORY
In September 2005 Amman Imman founder and Executive Director Ariane Kirtley began her work in the pastoral region of the Azawak, Niger as a Fulbright Scholar conducting public health research. There, she witnessed children traveling up to 30 miles a day searching for water, often in vain. She met with families who had spent their life resources hand digging over 300 feet into the ground, yet never reaching water despite the many years of labor.
"Amman Imman: Water is Life" supported the feature documentary ABOVE WATER / MARCHER SUR L'EAU (2021) co-written by Ariane Kirtley and Aïssa Maïga, directed by Aïssa Maïga.
