📰 The challenge
In the Central Highlands, many rural households still lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Long daily walks to fetch water affect schooling and productivity; waterborne disease burden remains high.
- Distance and time cost for water collection
- Existing points often fall out of service without trained maintenance
- Need for community governance and quality monitoring
✅ Our approach
We build durable systems, not one-off boreholes: each point includes local maintenance capacity and a water committee.
- Pillar 1 — Construction: 50 equipped boreholes with hand pumps, protection, fencing
- Pillar 2 — Local maintenance: two trained technicians per point (100 people total) with toolkits
- Pillar 3 — Governance: elected committees, small maintenance fund, monthly quality checks
