Water for Life: Empowering Communities with Safe Water in Togo VPA1
Gold Standard · GS12844 · Togo
About this project
The project activity focusses on the rehabilitation of boreholes in Togo to ensure access to safe water for local communities. This initiative not only lessens households' dependence on firewood for water purification, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions from combustion, but also addresses the health risks associated with waterborne diseases and exposure to harmful gases emitted during the boiling of water using firewood.
