Alternative sanitation solutions for the most underprivileged / WSP
The aim of this project is to improve the health of the most underprivileged, in five locations in Peru, by providing them with access to basic sanitation services.
Through an innovative approach, based on promoting the local market and increasing the motivation of the population concerned, actions will be conducted with the consumers, suppliers and institutions in order to incite the population to change its practices in terms of sanitation, and, secondly, to reinforce the capacity of the suppliers so that they are able to meet increased demand.
