Description
1) Objective
The Elisabeth & Amelie Fund supports projects of Belgian organizations working in developing countries to improve access to drinking water. The Fund aims to improve access to water and sanitation by establishing drinking water and sanitation systems in schools.The Elisabeth & Amélie Fund’s 2024 call for projects will focus on school sanitation projects with a hygiene education component. Access to sufficient safe water, basic sanitation and hygiene is an absolute necessity to maintain the health of a community and contribute to its economic development. Water being a common good, it must be managed equitably. There must be a concerted approach between all stakeholders. In the current context of climate change, it is essential to emphasize water conservation while adapting to local specificities and context.
Previously funded projects include:
- Setting up two permaculture pilot projects in a park with communal vegetable gardens to help vulnerable women farmers, to grow vegetables more efficiently, and encourage families with private vegetable gardens to make sustainable use of rainwater and wastewater;
- Installing collectors to collect rainwater for vulnerable families in an arid area, and encourage families to grow vegetables on their plots in order to reduce their dependence on remote water points and vegetable markets; and also to contribute to food security and the health;
- Reforestation and groundwater replenishment for irrigation agriculture, groundwater wells, reservoir purification and rainwater collection in schools, to improve access to irrigation and drinking water for farming families and their children.
