SPOUTS Water Purifier Programme in Africa
Gold Standard · GS11638 · Rwanda
About this project
The purpose of the PoA is to disseminate Safe Water Supply (SWS) devices in domestic households and communities in the countries of Africa- Uganda and Rwanda, which were earlier using wood and/or charcoal on rudimentary stoves for boiling water or were consuming untreated water. The project would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the burning of non-renewable woody biomass and/or charcoal for boiling unsafe water to make it safe for consumption.
