GS23532-Water for the Planet Initiative - VPA - 001
Gold Standard · GS23533 · Rwanda
About this project
This VPA under the program "Water for Planet Initiative" will provide safe water to communities in Rulindo district - Rwanda by installing water treatment technologies (in-line chlorination) to existing community water supply (CWS) systems. The project will also maintain the system, expand piped water access, and provide regular water quality monitoring and awareness within the communities. The resulting safe water access and public awareness of its safety is likely to replace the need to burn non-renewable biomass in water treatment through boiling. This will result in reduced GHG emissions and positively contribute to climate change goals and sustainable development goals.
