Félicité Tchibindat, UNICEF WCARO Regional Director, met with Colette, a resident of the village of Tiepa in the Nzérékoré region of Guinea, to discuss the access to drinking water, hygiene and sanitation now available in her village. Colette explains: "These facilities are beneficial because they keep diseases at bay. The concrete latrine slabs have improved safety, especially for young children. Before, they were made of wood and rotted. With the new water point, things are much better. The income from the sale of water is used to maintain the water point, so we'll have access to drinking water for many years to come."
Until 2019, Tiepa faced a critical sanitary situation, exacerbated by the lack of basic facilities for hygiene and access to clean water. The lack of latrines and the widespread practice of open defecation among the village's 102 residents posed significant health risks. This practice was not only degrading, but also contributed to environmental pollution and the spread of infectious diseases.
Thanks to support from the United States Fund for UNICEF, the village of Tiepa in the Nzérékoré region of Guinea now has a community-led total sanitation system and an autonomous water station. Groups of villagers and natural leaders have been formed to promote hygiene and sanitation practices. One natural leader explains: "Before, the water point was manual, but now with the standpipe, it's easier to get water, and diarrhea diseases have decreased. The village is no longer polluted by open defecation, people no longer go to the forest, they use the latrines. We are proud to work with UNICEF to improve the lives of our communities." 102 villagers now benefit from latrines. The creation of an autonomous water point , supplied by a borehole marked a decisive turning point. Previously, the villagers relied on water from the marigots, which was often contaminated and a vector for disease. With access to a reliable source of drinking water, the risk of waterborne diseases has been greatly reduced. This change has also reduced the burden on women, who used to spend a lot of time collecting water. UNICEF's intervention not only solved Tiepa's immediate sanitation and health problems, but also laid the foundation for sustainable, self-sustaining development that will improve the daily lives and health of residents for years to come.

Acupressure is one of the traditional forms of massage therapy that involves applying pressure to certain points on the body to address the ailments. Acupressure therapy has a history of several thousand years and is practiced even today under the BNYS course. According to traditional medicine, people have meridians or channels throughout the body, which is understood as a life sustaining energy force, runs along those meridians. The acupressure has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it has been used for thousands of years.
