Two billion people around the world have no access to drinking water. Many families have no choice but to boil their water on an open fire using the simplest of utensils. This causes CO2 emissions and is contributing to the ever-increasing deforestation in the regions affected. By repairing damaged fountains and drilling new boreholes, the project in Kasungu, Malawi, ensures that each household uses less firewood when preparing water and that CO2 emissions are prevented.
