This 2020 issue of HAMAP Mag is devoted to access to drinking water and sanitation, a fundamental right still denied to millions of people worldwide. HAMAP-Humanitaire runs projects in around fifteen countries to guarantee this vital right.

- Strengthening local skills for the sustainable management of the facilities
- Partnerships with local authorities and beneficiary communities
Why water is still a struggle
Nearly 2 billion people still have no access to a safe source of drinking water. In the rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa, the Sahel and South East Asia, HAMAP-Humanitaire builds boreholes, wells and water supply networks, while training communities to maintain them.
The HAMAP-Humanitaire approach
Our method rests on three pillars: identifying needs with local actors, delivering technical solutions suited to the context, and making the work last through training and the transfer of skills to local management committees.
