GS7591 VPA 47 GIF Gash-Barka Safe Water Project
Gold Standard · GS11675 · Eritrea
About this project
The project will support the provision of safe water using borehole technology to hundreds of households within the Gashbarka region in Eritrea. By providing safe water, the project will ensure that households consume less firewood during the process of water purification and as a result there shall be a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion process. The capacity of communities to maintain their boreholes will also be supported through the project to ensure that the water keeps flowing. The boreholes included under the project will be powered entirely by emission-free technologies such as hand or solar-powered pumps.
