Clean water provided for thousands of local community members

Providing clean water is a top priority of the Mai Ndombe REDD+ project as water related illnesses are the second leading cause of death in the area after malaria, associated with the lack of access to safe drinking water despite the general abundance of water in the region as villagers dig shallow wells or fetch water from contaminated streams. Completed water facilities highlighted are third-party verified as of December 2021.
