About this project

“Believe Green Safe Drinking Water – Ethiopia–1” is a Gold Standard micro-programme activity (VPA) which aims to reduce biofuel consumption, such as wood, as is traditionally used to boil water to make it safe to drink. This is done by offering low income populations affordable water filters that make water safe to drink. Since these people usually use inefficient cook stoves that cause large amounts of smoke leading to respiratory diseases, the project also has significant health co-benefits. Also, the project generates significant employment and income opportunities for the local villagers, who are invited to join the project across the production and delivery chain.
