Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Project with the Poul Due Jensen Foundation in Togo
Since 2014, Poul Due Jensen Foundation and PlanBørnefonden have been working together to improve access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation in the Plateaux Region in Togo. The purpose of the partnership is to improve access to safe and affordable drinking water and adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for local communities in rural areas and forgotten refugee camps.
