In this context, TİKA, which carries out important projects especially on water and sanitation, collaborated with Vietnam Sustainable Development Center (SUSDEC) to install water filtration systems to 12 kindergartens in Vietnam’s Ninh Thuan, Dak Nong and Nghe An provinces.
Thanks to the project that was implemented through the cooperation of TİKA and SUSDEC, the students of kindergartens in mountainous and far off locations, gained access to clean drinking water, which they lacked before. The project was implemented in 12 kindergartens in Vietnam’s Ninh Thuan, Dak Nong and Nghe An provinces; and the installation of the water filtration systems in the beneficiary schools were completed.
With the project, over 2,000 children of kindergarten age gained access to healthy drinking water.

Pointing out the importance of solving children’s drinking water problem in terms of its significance for the future of the country, the administrators expressed their gratitude on behalf of their country.
