WASH PROJECTS

As a hybrid organization, Viva con Agua is committed to WASH projects in the Global South: projects are implemented and funded together with partners such as GIZ or Welthungerhilfe – in line with the motto "All for water". Since 2006, more than 4.6 million people have been reached with water, sanitation, and hygiene measures.
