1001Fontaines

For 15 years, the NGO 1001fontaines has been pioneering an innovative response to the problem of safe drinking water in Cambodia and Madagascar. Its mission is to improve the health of people living in poor, isolated communities by enabling them to produce and distribute safe drinking water based on a social enterprise business model, which ensures that each village is self-sufficient and that the solution is durable. The three pillars of the model are water quality, accessibility and sustainability. In 2008, 1001fontaines launched the “Water in School” program enabling more than 150 000 children in 400 schools to get access to free safe drinking water at school in Cambodia every day! The objective is to reach 180 000 in 2018!
