GUARANTEE THE HUMAN RIGHT TO SAFE WATER AND SANITATION

Drinking safe and clean water and having access to sanitation is a human right that, unfortunately, not everyone has access to. AquaFed and its members' main mission is ensuring the implementation of systems allowing anyone to have access to this right.
