Our work
ACTING FOR WATER
IN COMOROS
On the island of Ngazidja, HAMAP is rehabilitating and extending the drinking water supply network of 6 villages in the commune of Itsahidi from the secured borehole built by AFD.
The gravity-fed distribution system carries water from the Midjendjeni spring to the villages.
We run community awareness campaigns on water and hygiene issues and are setting up a long-term management system for the governance of the water network.
