About this project

Net Zero Danışmanlık Anonim Şirketi (Net Zero Türkiye) carries out the project “Safe Water in Uganda” in partnership with its local partner ISAR İç ve Dış Ticaret Anonim Şirketi (ISAR). The project covers 61 boreholes and the objective of the project is to reduce carbon emissions due to water treatment by drilling boreholes and to improve the living conditions of about 120,000 people living in Eastern Uganda, by providing clean drinking water within a reasonable proximity. The project is located in 11 districts in the Eastern region of Uganda. It will be developed under the Gold Standard as a retroactive project in line with Community Water Supply Technologies and it will seek to obtain carbon revenues to reinvest in our voluntary emission reduction projects in the region. Thus, we will be able to continue the maintenance and repair processes for the long term. We will also conduct hygiene campaigns and periodically test the quality of the water to ensure we continue to provide clean drinking water.
