Togo
In Togo, only 63% of the population have access to a safe water source
The Challenge
Natural water sources are scarce and are often shared by people and livestock resulting in high levels of contamination. This project was delivered in two of the most poorly served districts of Togo, Naki Est and Ogaro, where access to clean water is only currently available for 26% of the population.
