The mission
Since March 2020, SI has been working in France to address the challenges of water, hygiene, and sanitation poverty in five French territories. In partnership with metropolitan water and sanitation operators and their foundations, its projects target populations living in substandard housing, such as slums or squats, who have limited access to basic services, including drinking water, sanitation, and essential hygiene products. SI’s strategy is to support local stakeholders in their search for concrete solutions by improving sanitary conditions in these areas, notably through the installation of drinking water supply systems, sanitation infrastructure, and the development of pilot projects tailored to the specific context of each intervention zone.
