WaterAid | Piping the supply

In a situation echoed across the developing world, the poorest residents in Madagascan towns are the least likely to be connected to the mains water supply. Instead they pay a high price from street vendors or rely on unsafe sources for their water.

WaterAid and its partners are helping to connect communities to the mains water supply by liaising with the water providers on their behalf. Water kiosks are established where residents can buy safe water at a reasonable price.

Caretakers like Tsara Emeline (pictured in Ampasimpotsy Quatier) manage the kiosks and collect money to pay for the water supply, maintenance and their wages.
