Clean Water: Key in the Battle Against Malnutrition in Southern Madagascar

UNICEF/2017- Human interest story-Malnutrition. Like other households with children affected by malnutrition, Vaonome’s parents benefit from the provision of a ceramic water filter, water distributions at the local health center, and soap, thanks to the support of the European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO). What’s more, more than 3,500 families with malnourished children, pregnant women, and mothers of newborns in the district of Amboasary, Anosy Region, benefit from this ECHO-financed drinking water supply – a vital resource for the majority of the population who previously had to travel tens of kilometers to find a few drops of water of dubious quality.ECHO-/SF/BUD/2017/91007
