Access to clean, safe water and sanitation is a right for everyone to ensure good health and hygiene – however many people continue to suffer from poor access. Recent statistics show that in Egypt’s developed areas 98% have piped water coverage, however in rural areas, there is only 84% coverage. These figures demonstrate the inequality present in rural areas today.
To help bring a solution to this critical issue, RSM Egypt collaborated with a local charity to provide potable water to five small villages (two in Upper Egypt and three in the Nile Delta area) facing challenges accessing clean sources.
The infrastructure installed provides water to about 5,000 people, ensuring that these villages no longer live with life-threatening poor sanitation and contaminated water.
