WaterAid | Burkina Faso

In Burkina Faso 61% of people have safe water and only 13% have sanitation.

WaterAid works with seven partners providing sustainable, low-cost water and sanitation services within the poorest and most vulnerable communities of Burkina Faso.

Micro credit schemes are available to help individuals build latrines or to receive training in making and selling soap as part of a hygiene education and poverty reduction programme. We are now planning to support 27 local governments in localising the UN Millennium Development Goal targets, to halve the proportions of people living without water or sanitation by 2015, so they become more achievable in specific areas.

WaterAid will also lobby nationally for greater investment in water and sanitation, and ensure that all projects consider the impact and sustainability of water supplies.
