More than 7,000 villages (85% of the population) do not have access to drinking water and suffer significant health and food consequences.

The monsoon period also has an impact on living conditions and contributes to the precariousness of rural communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heavy metals<\/strong><br \/>\nThe subsoil is rich in heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury, copper) that contaminate groundwater at levels well above the maximum acceptable limits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monsoon<\/strong><br \/>\nThe rainy season further aggravates the problem by increasing bacteriological and pesticide contamination (organophosphates and pyrethroids).<\/p>\n<p>The first objective of the pilot phase of our &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.terredessourires.org\/wp\/en\/projets\/\">Lao Aqua Empowerment<\/a>&#8221; project is to meet this primary need by setting up water kiosks and validating a concept for large-scale deployment.

Training in basic hands hygiene is not only essential, but also part of the water projects we run. Our team has the task of offering soaps to the beneficiaries of our facilities, and of transmitting a systematic message on the basic rules of hands washing to avoid major cases of dysentery, acute diarrhoea and other intestinal\/gastric diseases.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, in emergencies, villagers have to travel long distances of 10 to 30 kilometres to the only &#8216;hospital&#8217; in the area, which is often poorly equipped. Otherwise, according to custom, they turn to the village healer.<\/p>\n<p>TdS aims to improve the health of rural populations by transmitting knowledge and teaching simple gestures.<\/p>\n<p>In the longer term, we hope to be able to respond to the health needs of rural communities through partnerships with organisations and\/or associations specialising in this field to strengthen local and rural health systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_font_icon-f7a3d1b39728f45042ec614c914f9ad6\">\n.av_font_icon.av-av_font_icon-f7a3d1b39728f45042ec614c914f9ad6 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:40px;\nline-height:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-av_font_icon-f7a3d1b39728f45042ec614c914f9ad6 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1848","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
