Our mission is to mobilize the power of citizens via mobile and digital technologies for better access to water and sanitation.
The project aims to provide decision makers, government and donors with valuable ideas to guide targeted solutions at the local level. The overall objective of the project is to identify, using GPS technology, areas which do not have access to drinking water and which need a healthy living environment by locating these critical areas on maps in order to respond effectively to the needs expressed by citizens.
Health impacts Reduction in the incidence of: waterborne diseases (diarrhea, typhoid, cholera); diseases due to lack of hygiene (scabies, trachoma, etc.); diseases of aquatic origin (guinea worm).
Social impacts Reduction in fetching water for women and children; education of young girls; capacity building of beneficiaries; limitation of rural exodus towards other cities; organization of communities and promotion of future open local authorities.
Economic impacts The availability of drinking water a short distance from users saves time for women in fetching water; this saved time can allow women to develop other income-producing activities.
