About this project
The Zoba Debub Community Boreholes project is eligible under the Gold Standard methodology Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption version 2.0. The project will support the provision of safe water to thousands of households in Zoba Debub using borehole technology. By providing safe water, thereby removing the need to boil water, the project will ensure that households consume less firewood during the process of water purification and as a result there will be a reduction in carbon dioxide.
