The UN Sustainable Development Goals are a set of 17 interlinked global goals designed to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Our WASH programme makes progress towards:​
82% of the Venezuelan population don’t have continuous access to water. What they do receive sporadically is often not potable.​

We decided to take action, and launched our WASH programme.​
