About this project

Amazi Water Carbon Credit Program in Burundi acts as a bridge between climate action and community development. This program allows communities to gain access to safe water through boreholes and solar-powered supply systems, leaving out the need to boil water using firewood or charcoal. This translates into measurable emission savings, which can be certified as carbon credits under the Gold Standard. Through this program, communities of Burundi enjoy uninterrupted access to safe water, which reduces waterborne diseases, improves public health, and protect forests by reducing demand for firewood, while cutting carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. The program provides a mechanism to sustain water infrastructure, improve health outcomes, protect the environment, and empower communities, all while contributing to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
