About this project

The project realizes solar-powered water systems to ensure the supply of safe drinking water for domestic use in three rural villages (Ambatoaranana, Ankatafa and Ambalavelona) in the Northern Madagascar. The project is developed by ZOE organization in collaboration with Carbonsink and ADAPS. The purpose of the project is to improve the conditions of local population by providing easy access to safe and clean water, and to ensure verifiable Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission reductions through the reduced wood combustion. The project will also raise awareness among the population regarding hygiene and contribute to sustainable development goals (SDGs) number 3, 6, 12 and 13.
