Over 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation. These are basic human rights. Many low-cost, community-run schemes can be set up to improve health, wellbeing and environmental conditions, and generate some income.

Practical Answers is the Technical Information Service of Practical Action. It provides information on appropriate, small-scale technologies that improve the lives of people living in poverty. It allows you to access the wealth of technical knowledge within Practical Action as well as that of our partners and other people working to reduce poverty.

This systematic approach to planning suits the Rwandan context and has helped to mobilise funds, but is less effective in emphasising the sustainability of investments.
