BORDA Africa
The five countries where we operate — Lesotho, Mali, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia — are characterised by increasing urban migration and rapid urbanisation. Local policy-makers and authorities face an enormous challenge: to provide all citizens with adequate sanitation systems. Those living in low-income unplanned communities are particularly affected.
Not only is there a lack of financing and appropriate infrastructure, there are also challenges such as narrow streets that are inaccessible to large collection vehicles. Flexible, decentralised systems are needed to protect the environment and the health and dignity of local residents. more about us
