Where we help

The number of countries without access to sanitation facilities can seem overwhelming. Together with our cooperation partners, we want to change this and work on sanitation infrastructure. We will start in Malawi and Sierra Leone.

Why Malawi

Malawi is one of the least developed countries in the world and ranks 169th out of 189 countries on the current UN Human Development Index. Almost a quarter of the rapidly growing population is considered extremely poor and over 4 million people have no access to clean drinking water. There is a general lack of sanitation facilities, which makes it easier and faster for diseases to spread. This can be life-threatening, especially for weak people and children.

Why Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone is a country marked by civil war and Ebola Country and although it was declared "Ebola-free" at the end of 2015, weaknesses in the health system remain. Chronic malnutrition is one of the biggest problems, but also one of the highest child and maternal mortality rates in the world. Reasons for this include diarrheal diseases, which are due to the lack of access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.
