About this project

The activity includes the realization of solar-powered water systems to ensure the supply of safe drinking water for domestic use and irrigation of agricultural land in the villages of the Ambanja District, in Diana Region of Madagascar. The main purpose of the project is to improve the hygienic, social and economic conditions of local population related to a proper and safe water management, and to ensure that verifiable GHG emission reductions are achieved through the reduced wood combustion used for water boiling for purification purposes. The project activity is developed by Italian NGO ZOE organization, in collaboration with the Italian based environmental organization CarbonSink and with the local partner ADAPS.
