Hamadou Sadiou Bah, a young Belgian-Guinean national, took the long journey from Brussels to Conakry, travelling mainly on foot and by bicycle. His goal: to raise awareness about water shortages in Guinea. He hopes to help drill a water well to ease the struggle for Guineans, a third of whom don't have access to clean drinking water. 

Hamadou Sadiou Bah was only 130 kilometres from the Guinean capital Conakry on August 22. The young activist left Brussels to return to his country of origin more than 100 days ago.
