Clean Drinking Water for Urban and rural in Egypt

This project seeks to provide  clean potable water for neediest people in urban and rural areas  in Egypt. Approximately 60% of rural Moroccans lack piped potable water. Unhealthy drinking water causes frighteningly high infant mortality (many families lose half their children to water-borne diseases), shorter life spans and reduced energy for livelihoods. Further, time spent to procure non-potable water adds to the already substantial burden of women and girls and prevents their participation 

To provide potable water to to the neediest people in rural and urban areas, the project establishes essential infrastructure - a gravity-flow water system that pipes pure water from distant springs to reservoirs built above village, from which water runs through distribution systems to public taps near houses, schools and mosques. The project uses local building techniques, knowledge and resources - to ensure that appropriate ongoing maintenance occurs.
