The majority of people in the project region have no access to clean drinking water. The women, who are responsible for fetching the water, must walk for long distances to provide for necessary amounts of water for their families. The water comes from an open water source and is of questionable, health-hazardous quality.

The goal of the project is to improve the drinking water supply for around 40,000 people in 20-25 villages in northern Mozambique. One well provides 20 Litres per day per person for 500 residents. The construction of wells is accompanied by promotion to the population of the link between water, hygiene and health.

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you – or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

Sollen alle Brunnen mit manuellen Pumpen betrieben werden? Wird jedes Mal neu nach Wasser gebohrt oder werden auch bestehende Brunnen überarbeitet?

Katrin S.: answered almost 3 years ago
Hallo Joachim,

Da Helvetas für die Umsetzung und den Bau der Brunnen vor Ort zuständig ist und Viva con Agua sich nur um die Finanzierung der Brunnen bemüht, kann ich dir da keine 100%ig richtige Antwort geben...Ich meine aber, dass nur manuelle Pumpen gebaut werden und Dörfer versorgt werden, in denen überhaupt keine Brunnen vorhanden sind. Daher werden wohl immer nur neue Brunnen installiert.

liebste Grüße
Käthe

Hallo,
läuft das Projekt schon vor Ort in Mozambique? Im November mache ich eine Reise nach Mozambique und würde mir gerne Hilfprojekte mit technischer Ausrichtung ansehen.

Hallo Heinrich,
Das Projekt läuft noch nicht. Das geht erst bei vollständiger Finanzierung los. Viva con Agua Schweiz sammelt hier bei Betterplace auch nur für einen Bruchteil der Gesamtfinanzierung. Insgesamt benötigen wir nämlich 50.000CHF (circa 30.000Euro). Das gesammelte Geld geht dann an Helvetas, die die Brunnen vor Ort installieren werden. Wir sind daher nur die Spendensammler....
Beste Grüße und Alles Gute für deine Reise.
Katrin
