About this project

The purpose of the voluntary project activity (VPA) is to install safe water technologies in Rwanda. Ecolinks will work closely with local partners to ensure proper installation and running of the solar powered public water facilities. The target beneficiaries of the VPA will be communities/institution located rural areas across 4 regions in Rwanda. The project will contribute towards various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by reducing GHG emissions associated with the use of non-renewable biomass for cooking in the targeted population, improving the health of the communities who exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution, creating local employment opportunities. The project is a voluntary initiative coordinated by EcoLinks Co., Ltd. They are also the coordinating and the managing entity.
