"Access to clean and hot water is a prerequisite for health, hygiene, equality, and sustainability." 🌍 💧 ☀
The project in Uganda continues to create great improvements and conditions for the families who have now received Latours Solvatten.
Latour's collaboration with Solvatten has helped make a difference for hundreds of children and their families through the Solar Water Purification for Rural Communities project. The support has not only improved the standard of living for families in some of Uganda's poorest regions, it has also created opportunities for a better future. Together, we are building a more sustainable and just world. 💚

Together with my colleagues, Naomi Tuinstra , Rory W. from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ghana, we had the chance of meetings with top Management of the Cocoa Health & Extension Division of the COCOA BOARD GHANA to share valuable insights about our various strategic focus in the cocoa sector. Clearly, increased productivity at the farm level driven by the adoption of climate smart production practices is pivotal in achieving living income for farmers. We had very fruitful exchanges in this direction and are looking forward to a stronger working collaboration in creating a sustainable cocoa sector that is without #child#labour and #deforestation. This is achievable through working in partnership and we are committed in this direction. #cocoa#Netherlands#sustainability#Living income #eudr

The Coca-Cola Foundation, in partnership with Millennium Water Alliance (MWA), are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the Sustainable Access to Safe Water (SASaWa) initiative. Scheduled for an official launch event next month in #Nairobi, this initiative is set to significantly enhance water resilience across Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs).
The official launch of #SASaWa will take place in Nairobi, with the participation of government officials, community leaders, and key stakeholders from various sectors committed to supporting this transformative initiative. This event will showcase the planned activities and expected impacts of #SASaWa, setting the stage for a coordinated effort towards water sustainability in Kenya.
Carlos Pagoaga, President of The Coca-Cola Foundation, emphasized: “Supporting collective efforts to deliver sustainable and resilient water services to water-stressed communities lies at the core of The Coca-Cola Foundation’s mission. As a catalytic funder, we aim to accelerate interventions by leveraging insights from past experiences. This approach is essential for improving the lives and ensuring lasting impact for those living in Kenya’s ASAL communities."
"With the support of The Coca-Cola Foundation, SASaWa is poised to build on the strong foundation laid by previous projects such as RAPID+, STAWI Mashinani and DRIP FUNDI. This initiative will use an integrated approach to address both the immediate and systemic challenges of water scarcity in the ASALs, helping ensure a lasting impact on community resilience and fostering economic growth," Styvers Kathuni Millennium Water Alliance Kenya Country Director, shared his vision for the project.

To improve access to water and the reliability of water services, the program is designed to reduce the burdens of water collection, particularly impacting women and children, and to decrease health risks associated with poor water quality. #SASaWa is structured around 3 core pillars that guide its comprehensive strategy to improve water access and management:
💧 Water Innovation: Focuses on introducing and scaling innovative, financially viable WASH solutions to ensure safe water reaches the most vulnerable communities in urban, peri-urban, and rural settings.
💧 WASH Systems Strengthening: Enhances the capacity and resilience of the entire WASH ecosystem, empowering local municipalities, utilities, NGOs, and other water service providers to deliver high-quality, reliable, and affordable services.
💧 Catalytic Infrastructure Investments: Supports critical infrastructure development through risk mitigation, technical assistance, and project preparation, setting the stage for significant investments from various sectors.
The SASaWa initiative exemplifies a strategic, multi-faceted approach to addressing critical water issues in Kenya's ASALs. By building on the solid foundations of established programs and focusing on innovative, sustainable solutions, #SASaWa is poised to make a lasting impact on the region's water security.

Today the EnviroGreen Care Association of Zambia (EGCAZ) attend a training workshop on how to make briquettes which took place at St Andrews UCZ church in woodlands , Lusaka.
We learnt that the briquettes emit no smoke or dust. That the briquettes burn longer than traditional charcoal. Also that as an alternative energy source briquettes reduce on wood-cutting as wood cutting greatly contributes to deforestation.
As EGCAZ we continue to uphold our primary mission of protection and care for the planet under SDG 7 and 13 whilst also empowering communities.
SDG 7 addresses affordable and clean energy. Ensuring clean and cheap energy is not only vital, but it is at the center of ending poverty and protecting the planet.
As EGCAZ we remain committed to empowering communities. We also continue to enlighten the communities we work with on dangers of persistent cutting down of trees for firewood and charcoal whilst offering this alternative of briquettes making.
This year we plan to train our various community groups on briquette production for cooking and for sale with the aim to create sustainable livelihoods.

The Youth Sustainable Development Network (YSDN) latest report on Clean Cooking in Africa delves into the intricate network of stakeholders driving clean cooking adoption across Africa put policy development at the forefront.
From NGOs and governments to private sectors and financial institutions, each player has a unique role in fostering an ecosystem where clean cooking can thrive.
At the heart of this network are the stove and fuel users, whose behavior and needs are supported through collaborative efforts in financing, product development, and market intelligence. This interconnected approach is essential for scaling sustainable solutions that improve lives and the environment.

With all the climate change effects that the world is currently facing, it's fulfilling to see organisations such as Caritas Czech Republic In Zambia taking the lead in the fight against climate change through innovative projects such as Green Solutions for Sustainable Development and Growth in Monze District.
This being my last article for Caritas Czech Republic In Zambia, I wish the organisation success in all it's projects and particularly in the fight against climate change.
#newbeginnings#wishingyousuccess#climatechangesolutions
In the heart of Southern Province, Zambia, we have launched the Green Solutions for Sustainable Development and Growth in Monze District project that envisions a future where small and medium-scale farmers, with a particular focus on women and youth, actively participate in functional and market-oriented diversified, resilient, and green value chains within the agricultural sector.

Rwanda is setting a remarkable example for environmental sustainability in Africa. Known for its pristine landscapes and clean cities, Rwanda's journey towards environmental excellence is truly inspiring.
In 2008, Rwanda became one of the few countries in the world to implement a nationwide ban on plastic bags. This bold move has drastically reduced plastic waste, contributing to the country's beautiful and clean environment.
Moreover, Rwanda's unique community initiative, "Umuganda," involves a monthly nationwide clean-up day. Every last Saturday of the month, citizens come together to clean their neighborhoods, build infrastructure, and engage in community service. This collective effort fosters a culture of environmental responsibility and civic pride.
Rwanda's commitment to sustainability doesn't stop there. The country has also invested in renewable energy, reforestation projects, and sustainable agriculture, aiming to balance economic growth with environmental protection.
Rwanda's efforts are a testament to what can be achieved when a nation prioritizes the environment. It serves as a model for other countries aspiring to create a sustainable future.
