About this project

The purpose of the VPA is to disseminate Safe Water Supply (SWS) devices such as Household Water Treatment (HWT) technologies in domestic households and communities of western regions of Uganda, Africa. They are distributed to households which were earlier using wood on rudimentary stoves for boiling water or were consuming untreated water. The project makes the end-users energy efficient and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions otherwise resulting from the burning of non-renewable woody biomass for boiling unsafe water to make it safe for consumption. The project boundary is the geographical boundary of western Uganda where the water filters are proposed to be distributed. The VPA is implemented by SPOUTS International (SPOUTS) who are Project Owners whereas AGS Carbon Advisory is the Coordinating/Managing Entity (CME) of the PoA. SPOUTS will implement the project with support from AERA Group.
