Key Highlights

In Cambodia, 1001fontaines’s local partner organization operates the world's first sustainable rural network of safe water production and delivery kiosks, providing high-quality services to 1M people in more than 320 rural communities.

In Madagascar, 1001fontaines has innovated an industrial reconditioning process to transform former vegetable oil jerricans into safe water containers for their services. This ensures cost efficiency and enables them to serve over 35,000 consumers with safe drinking water at an affordable price. This effort represents more than 250 tons of plastic waste avoided over the past 4 years, considering the plastic consumption from 1.5L single-use bottles as an alternative.

1001fontaines has always believed in building local capabilities in order to ensure professionalism and resilience of the services delivered to vulnerable populations. They have developed in-house training courses that have enabled 1,000+ people to learn how to produce and deliver high-quality drinking water in challenging contexts, with a strong sense of customer service.
