GS11638 GS11640 RVPA-1 SPOUTS Water Purifier Programme in Africa- WPS in Uganda by TASC- VPA 3

The purpose of the VPA is to disseminate Safe Water Supply (SWS) devices such as Institutional water treatment (IWT) and/or Household Water Treatment (HWT) technologies in domestic households and communities of west regions of Uganda, Africa. They are distributed to households which were earlier using wood and/or charcoal on rudimentary stoves for boiling water or were consuming untreated water. The project makes the end-users energy efficient and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions otherwise resulting from the burning of non-renewable woody biomass and/or charcoal for boiling unsafe water to make it safe for consumption.
