Bolodou


Bolodou is a town and sub-prefecture in the Guéckédou Prefecture in the Nzérékoré Region of south-western Guinea. The sub-prefecture had a population of 13,643 people in 2014, up from 11,750 in 1996. The town itself holds 94 houses with an unknown total population. The Bolodou Sub-Prefecture is divided into 7 quarters, which are: Beddou, Bolodou Centre, Faindou, Gbandou, Koleadou, Kongoma, and Soumtou. Each of these towns can further be split into sectors, which are the smallest administrative divisions in Guinea. In 2017, a local math teacher set up his own dam to generate hydroelectric power for the town's homes. In December 2017, a 27-meter long bridge was built that connected the previously separate markets in Yèndè Millimou and Guéckédou.
