​CLEAN WATER

183 boreholes so far for 45,000 people


20% of Malagasy children under the age of 5 die today as a direct result of diarrhoeal diseases. 

Only 14% of the rural population has access to clean water (compared to urban areas where this is 66%), and just 7.5% of the rural population have access to adequate sanitation.

Access to clean water is one of the most essential changes to a community in the process of development:
  • People no longer have to to walk for miles to the nearest dirty stream to collect water
  • The risk of serious disease is significantly reduced
  • Women have more freedom, and greater security
  • The simple act of washing one’s hands before eating becomes a possibility
  • Communities spend less time collecting water, freeing up time for more productive work and education.

​Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
​

Launched in 2008, our WASH Campaign has 3 main objectives in order to significantly reduce the incidence of diarrheaol disease:
  • Hand washing with soap (or soap substitute, such as ash)
  • Hygienic latrines to reduce the incidence of open defecation (over 50% of the rural population lack access to hygenic latrines).​
  • Portability of water from the source to the household. 

Since 2008:
  • 183 boreholes have been installed providing clean water for 45,000 people​
  • Water management committees have been set up at all sites
  • Water-treatment products have been provided
  • Filters have been supplied to reduce the risk of contracting diseases like Hepatitis A, Typhoid and severe bacterial diarrhoea
  • Portable drinking water testing kits have been set up at every borehole
  • Locally led workshops have assigned roles and established effective  management.​
