About this project

The Crescendo Safe Water Supply project will provide clean water to local communities through boreholes in order to find a solution to boil water and improve the living conditions of the population. In addition, the programme contributes to the improvement of sanitation through hygiene campaigns among the inhabitants of the area. Access to drinking water within 1km of homes in each village will significantly improve the standard of living of the communities, especially rural women and children who traditionally collect water and wood, and the creation of jobs for young people, through management committees.
