Safe Water Carbon Credits
At Carbon Kind, we believe that access to safe water is fundamental to breaking the cycle of poverty. That's why we're committed to providing sustainable water solutions to vulnerable communities in Togo, West Africa. By rehabilitating boreholes and offering comprehensive water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) training, we empower communities to thrive independently.
WHY SAFE WATER MATTERS
In Togo, many rural families rely on unsafe water sources, leading to illness and disease. Often, water is either consumed untreated or purified over open fires, contributing to high carbon emissions and deforestation. The task of collecting water and fuel disproportionately affects women and young children, limiting their opportunities for income generation and education.
Our approach is simple yet impactful: we rehabilitate boreholes to restore access to safe drinking water, reducing reliance on unsafe or unsustainable alternatives. With only 17% of households in Togo having access to handwashing facilities with soap and water, we also provide vital WASH training to empower communities to reduce the spread of fatal diseases.
Beyond the household, access to safe water and rehabilitated boreholes helps protect natural ecosystems by reducing the need for firewood to boil contaminated water. This not only slows deforestation but also decreases carbon emissions, preserving vital resources for future generations. Reliable water sources strengthen community resilience against drought and climate change, ensuring families can thrive even in challenging conditions. Investing in safe water is an investment in healthier families, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future.
Revenue from the sale of these carbon credits are reinvested into community-led projects in Togo, empowering local communities to build resilience and drive sustainable change.
