Mozambique Safe Water Project
CO2balance's Gold Standard-registered programme rehabilitates and installs water infrastructure across Mozambican communities, paired with WASH training. In its own words, it reduces the risk of water-borne illnesses and the need to boil water for purification, which exposes households to hazardous air pollution.
