SANTO DOMINGO.-Habitat for Humanity Dominican Republic and Banco Adopem announced the signing of a strategic alliance to join the project “A clean solution to a dirty problem” which seeks to provide access to the sewer system to families who do not have a formal connection in Monte Cristi.
This initiative focuses on providing financing opportunities and support programs that enable families to improve, build their bathroom and/or connect to the formal sewer system, promoting an environment of development, health and safety.
The project, “A Clean Solution to a Dirty Problem,” is being carried out through a collaborative agreement with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), its innovation lab IDB Lab, and Habitat for Humanity. It also has the support of the National Institute of Drinking Water and Sewerage (INAPA), the agency responsible for access to water and sanitation.
