Solar plants for water supplies
Help is involved in climate protection particularly in Chad. With one of the largest solar-operated water plants worldwide, 12,000 refugees and 1,500 local inhabitants are supplied with drinking water in an environmentally friendly and affordable manner. In 2013 Help was awarded the "German solar prize" for this project.
However, climate change also plays a major role in other project countries: In Zimbabwe we are working with solar-driven water pumps. In Afghanistan we are generating energy via biogas plants. In Pakistan we are involved in disaster precautionary measures in order to counter the consequences of climate change.
Help always involves the local population in all the procedures so that they learn to adjust to the change in climate conditions. They learn how to use their resources efficiently and are informed about all the advantages of renewable energy, recycling systems and rubbish separation.
As a member of the Climate Alliance, Help is showing responsibility and setting an example.
