GS11955 VPA-1 Safe Water Supply in Zambia
Gold Standard · GS11956 · Zambia
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. Furthermore, the project is also expected to increase social and economical opportunities within the targeted communities.
