About this project

Mozambique is classified as a Least Developed Country by the United Nations, and only half of Mozambicans have access to improved water supply in rural areas. Handpumps, which are commonly found in communities, often fall into disrepair shortly after installation due to insufficient maintenance, lack of access to spare parts, and financial support. The Pungue project, developed by Removall, aims to rehabilitate and sustain over 5,000 handpumps across multiple provinces of Mozambique. It will avoid the consumption of firewood by households and lead to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
