Water Connections
The Water Connections program aims to provide fair and safe access to clean water. This initiative not only prevents diseases and reduces health risks, but also sustains lives, decreases infant mortality, and promotes economic prosperity.
Archive scope
The Water Connections category documents long-term interventions designed to ensure safe and reliable water access in ultra-rural settings.
Articles describe the planning, construction, and maintenance of wells, gravity systems, reservoirs, and distribution points, combined with basic sanitation and hygiene measures. These actions follow WHO water and public health standards, recognizing clean water as a core determinant of health. By reducing exposure to waterborne diseases, supporting hygiene, and improving daily living conditions, water connections contribute directly to lower morbidity, child health protection, and community resilience.

A simple jerrycans story in East Sumba
Two litres of water per day and per person to live. And this, thanks to an object as innocuous as an old five-litre can. A stupid plastic container?
