Four men reviewing the details for the Pignon Water System Service

Water All Day, Every Day, in Pignon

 

  • Prior to 2023, residents of Pignon lacked a reliable source of drinking water for several years.
  • Between 2018 and 2023, the town’s water utility experienced water losses of up to 80% due to leaky pipes.
  • Water service was not available 24/7, often leaving residents underserved.
  • The system was financially unsustainable, unable to cover basic operation and maintenance costs.
  • Today, thanks to $426,000 in partner investments over the past two years, the system now provides reliable service to over 1,600 people.

HANWASH brings together local and international partners, fostering knowledge and skills transfer, and building the capacity of local communities and leaders to give good governance to WASH and the progressive realization of the human right to water and sanitation
