PROJECT 1:
CLEAN DRINKING
WATER IN MOZAMBIQUE
Cleaning drinking water is a basic human right
many take for granted. It is estimated that over
2 billion people still do not have access to clean
drinking water. A great number of families spend
hours per day collecting firewood and boiling
their drinking water over an open fire resulting
in Co2 emissions and deforestation. By installing
boreholes, a form of drilling system, natural water
can be extracted from the ground directly.
The social and environmental benefits this project
offers are the reasons why we selected this project.
Improve hygiene and wellbeing including a
reduction of disease like Cholera
Less firewood is consumed per household
Boreholes reduce the time spent collecting
firewood and water. This time can now be used on
education and generating additional income.
Estimated 10,000 tonnes of C02 emissions are
reduction per year through this project.
