GS11638 GS11640 RVPA-6 SPOUTS Water Purifier Programme in Africa- WPS in Uganda by AERA- VPA 16
Gold Standard · GS23223 · Uganda
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 have planned to distribute water purification system (WPS) 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 will be 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 and in partnership with local partners and would ensure the last-mile distribution/installation of the water purification systems (WPS) to the beneficiaries.
