Temin is the name of several interconnected villages, located in the region of Aboisso, in the South-East of Ivory Coast. Temin is just over 60 miles from  from Abidjan, the capital city of Ivory Coast.  The people of Termin are part of the approximately 27% of the population of Ivory Coast, that lack access to safe, clean water.  As common with community without clean water, the incident of water borne diseases are rampant in Temin.

With access to clean water, the community will spend less time walking to fetch water and their reliance on lake water during dry season will not be necessary anymore. It will make for a healthier village.
