@OlivierNihimba, Fondateur de @Water4Dev, militant pour le #Climat et jeune spécialiste #WASH, a souligné comment fournir un accès à l'eau potable pour réduire l'incidence des maladies d'origine hydrique peut servir à la fois de #résilience et #atténuation des effets du CC:👇

The reality is, many students still don't have access to this lifesaving resource.

We are committed to continue promoting handwashing in rural schools in #Burundi.

Did you know that October 15th is #GlobalHandwashingDay?

Handwashing is globally recognized as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives based on the fact that washing hands with soap can reduce bacteria by 92%.

Hier l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies a décidé de convoquer la Conférence de l’ONU sur l’eau de 2026 pour accélérer la réalisation de l’objectif de développement durable no 6. Un nouvel horizon int’l majeur vers lequel tous converger pour faire avancer la cause de l’eau !

A great 1st Day at the Africa Climate Summit.

For the 1st time, African countries have decided to come together to discuss the African #ClimateSolutions to the global #ClimateCrisis. That's what the @AfClimateSummit is about.
Glad to be part of the process!

#EndCholera #WASH

[GTFCC Secretariat @SecGTFCC]

Billions of people around the world live without safely managed water and sanitation. Lacking access to adequate #WASH systems greatly increases the risk of diseases like cholera.

Clean water is a human right. We must leave no one behind.

We use the field "CBT EC+TC MPN" kits developed by @Aquagenx to quantify the "most probable number" of Esherchia Coli and Total coliforms in 100 mL water samples.

💧How do you know if drinking water is safe?

At @Water4Dev, we believe that water quality testing is essential for any intervention that aims at improving water quality simply because this enables spotting quality problems and informs corrective actions to be taken.

[Water For Development @Water4Dev]

However due low resources, water quality testing, especially microbial assesssing, is often difficult to achieve, both in development and humanitarian contexts.

Good news: Microbial water testing is now an intergral part of our flagship safe water intervention in @CibitokeProv
