    (230323) -- DAKAR, March 23, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Mamadou Dieng (1st L) helps villagers collect water in Tenefoul Toucouleur Village, Diourbel, Senegal, March 20, 2023. Mamadou Dieng, 40, an employee of the Chinese construction company CGCOC Group Senegal Branch, has been responsible for maintaining a Chinese-aided well in Tenefoul Toucouleur Village. Checking the machine's functions and filling the engine with diesel, Dieng's work may seem simple and tedious, but means a lot to the locals. Tenefoul Toucouleur Village was once a place afflicted with a severe lack of water. According to Dieng, residents there used to walk 1.5 kilometers every day and wait in long queues to fetch water from a 25-meter-deep well in a neighboring village. The well, part of the Chinese-funded rural well-drilling project in Senegal, has brought significant changes to local people's lives. In Senegal, the rural well-drilling project officially began on March 5, 2017. The project covers 12 of the 14 regions of Senegal. (Xinhua
