Improved access to clean drinking water in Syria
Replacement of damaged main water pipes in Syria – impact investing with lasting results
Improved access to clean drinking water covers the two districts of Hettin and Tashreen in Deir-ez Zor, Syria. To renovate the water network, pipe trenches were dug on site to the required dimensions and distribution pipes were laid to restore the water supply to the target households. Ten employees of the water authority received training on how to operate and maintain the completed water infrastructure. In addition, 15 other members of the communities were trained on challenges such as water scarcity, pollution, and hygiene. The water pipes distribute approximately 60,000 liters of water per day, benefiting 8,000 people.
Project partner
The project was implemented in collaboration with our partner Medair and made possible by donations from the impact share class of the Tareno Water Fund. By repairing severely damaged water pipes, access to clean drinking water was secured. The project thus ensures a long-term drinking water supply for people in the province of Deir-ez-Zor, Syria, who were suffering from a severe drinking water shortage. Further information and pictures can be found in the project description.
