Saudi Arabia has announced another project on the African continent.
The governmental Saudi Fund for Development signed a memorandum of understanding with the Republic of Guinea's Ministry of Economy pertaining to an $8 million grant for a water project. The money will go toward drilling approximately 140 wells, some of which will be equipped with solar-powered water pumps. It will also fund water tanks. The purpose of the grant is to alleviate the effects of drought in rural parts of Guinea, according to a Sunday press release from the fund.
