that promotes the access to Sanitation and Clean Air For All and Everywhere in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
At WASARU:
While promoting and advocating for equal access to sanitation, we empower communities with real-time, accurate and local air quality information to drive air pollution strategic decisions based on data.
WASARU was created and registered in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with a specific focus on Sanitation and Air Quality Monitoring. Our primarily focus was Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), but extended the activities to air pollution and air quality monitoring, as a continuation of previous projects that the founder has been implementing in the environmental health sector since 2010.
The problem of access to safe water coupled with poor sanitation and hygiene are major cause of disease in the DRC.
Air pollution and climate change affect each other through complex interactions in the atmosphere.
Air quality data is fundamental to solving the air pollution crisis. Data tells us how much pollution is in the air we breathe and where that pollution comes from.
Be part of the solution. We are committed to promoting the access to sanitation and clean air for all in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
