About this project

The purpose of the Programme of Activities (PoA) “Access to clean water” is the provision of safe drinking water technologies to communities in South Asia and Western Africa. Water access is acknowledged as a fundamental human right since it is essential to human health and existence. Notwithstanding significant progress, access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation facilities remains challenging for humanity. West Africa is among the regions with the lowest access to safe drinking water. By 2025, over sixty percent of West African countries will face water scarcity, and about eighty percent of surface water will witness eutrophication. The access to water and proper sanitation in these regions remain abysmal at less than 50 percent and 40 percent, respectively. Similarly, the South Asian region also faces water scarcity and open defecation challenges. According to the UNICEF analysis, over 134 million people do not have access to safe drinking water, and about 86-84 percent of water sources in South Asia are contaminated. Water scarcity, water contamination, and open defecation have huge health, social, and ecological costs. Lack of access to safe drinking water results in people drinking untreated and potentially contaminated drinking water, resulting in diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea. Also, as women and young girls are primarily responsible for water collection in most households without drinking water on their premises, water collection takes away a significant portion of their time and hampers crucial activities such as going to school, caring for their health, and improving their skills. It also exposes women to risks of accidents and sexual violence. Moreover, using wood for boiling water adds to deforestation, fueling biodiversity loss and has adverse climate implications due to greenhouse gas emission.
