About this project

The purpose of the VPA is to disseminate Safe Water Supply (SWS) devices such as Institutional water treatment (IWT) and Household Water Treatment (HWT) technologies in domestic households and communities of Rwanda, Africa. They are distributed to households which were earlier using wood and/or charcoal on rudimentary stoves for boiling water or were consuming untreated water. The project makes the end-users energy efficient and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions otherwise resulting from the burning of non-renewable woody biomass and/or charcoal for boiling unsafe water to make it safe for consumption.
