About this project

The lack of safe drinking water and sanitation results in a host of healthcare issues including frequent, and sometimes deadly, water-borne illnesses. Individuals in the target area either uses untreated and unsafe water or, instead, uses wood and biofuels for cooking and water purification. The process results in the release of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions form the combustion of wood. The project aims to reduce these emission by providing safe water technologies and distributing improved cook stoves across South Africa. Furthermore, the project is also expected to increase social and economical opportunities within the targeted communities.

Country only The registry gives the country only, so the project is not drawn on the map

The registry gives Zambia as the location, so this project is not drawn on the map. It is counted in the country totals.

Credit totals and status are as compiled in the Berkeley Voluntary Registry Offsets Database v2026-08 (CC BY 4.0) and change as the registries update. Please check the registry record before you quote a figure.
