Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Increased access to clean water supply and sanitation services in Kyuso will decrease the prevalence of water-borne disease and allow more time for children to attend school and for women to participate in income generating activities.
Project Message
Communities will be able to meet their own water needs and lead more dignified lives through access to sanitation by using low-cost, sustainable solutions that they can own and maintain for themselves
