CICOPA

The Rusizi plain (Northwestern BURUNDI) is an arid area in villages system. In these villages system, (520,035 inhabitants), only 3% of happy people have access to drinking water. For others, they drink, wash and cook with running water of the river KAJEGE (source of tropical diseases due to contaminated water). Otherwise, for drinking water, young and old ladies (rarely men) should make a 1/4 day of trip by bicycle to go to the queue,the reason why,CICOPA-Burundi in partnership with Japan water forum are making the difference to reduce that galley.( Illustrating picture below)
