GS5658 VPA 3: Borehole project "Antonio Giaffreda" Senegal

The project is developed by an Italian association Energia per lo Sviluppo (EPS) in collaboration with the Italian based company Carbonsink. The project includes the realization of solar powered safe drinking water systems in two rural villages (Ndiass and Toucouleur) and implementation of two purification system on pre-existent water supply systems in two other villages (Dalakh 2 and Louckouk Ndiaye), in the community of Mérina Dakhar, Thiès Region, Senegal. The project foresees to provide safe drinking water to approximately 3,000 persons starting from April 2018. Moreover, verifiable Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission reductions are achieved through the reduced wood combustion as the need for water purification through boiling is reduced and thus the project will contribute to mitigate the climate change in line with the SDG 13. The project will also raise awareness among population regarding hygiene and contribute to other sustainable development goals like SDG 3, SDG 6 and SDG 12.
