WaterAid | Papua New Guinea

In Papua New Guinea only 44% of people have access to safe water and 39% of people have sanitation.

Papua New Guinea is one of WaterAid's newest country programmes. Funds from WaterAid Australia allowed work to begin in 2005 and we have successfully completed our first project, building latrines and introducing hygiene education programmes in schools in the Eastern Highlands.

In partnership with Oxfam New Zealand and ATProjects, WaterAid aims to continue this work while developing a five year strategy and identifying new partners and projects. WaterAid will continue to focus on providing rural communities with essential water and sanitation facilities and hopes to work with the Government as they prioritise water quality monitoring, safe waste disposal and sustainable water supplies during droughts as part of their 2001-2010 National Health Plan.
