VPA 1: The MomCare Project
Gold Standard · GS11412 · Tanzania
About this project
The proposed Component Activity under the GS-PoA is a voluntary initiative to promote dissemination of solar technology based water purification devices called “SolarSack”, also referred to as “SaWa”, under the POA titled “Sustainable Water Purification Programme”. The main objective of the VPA is to disseminate SaWa (also referred to as project unit, which is a purification technology based on the proven Solar Water Disinfection Technology (SODIS), that directly replaces non-renewable biomass (fuelwood) burning at baseline that would have been otherwise used to boil water. Thus, it is envisaged that the VPA will deliver a long-term and secure contribution to sustainable development in the country as described in the PoA. The project activity under this VPA targets households in different villages in Manyara Region, in the host country Tanzania. Thus, the geographical boundary of the VPA is within the national boundary of Tanzania and the baseline scenario will consist of households using firewood for the purpose of boiling water.
