Expertise

Through missions carried out on the field for many years, Triangle Génération Humanitaire has acquired a technical expertise in water, hygiene, sanitation and civil ingineering issues. The kind of intervention it carries out varies according to the level of response required (emergency, rehabilitation, development and food security). It is also able to bring an efficient response to the local needs of populations by setting-up sustainable facilities adapted to the specificities of the groups at risk deprived of, or having limited access to water or sanitation. The community approach is our main concern and it is one of the keys of the success of our actions, ensuring their sustainability.

The projects aiming at improving the living conditions in terms of water and sanitation are directly supervised by the technical unit Water, Hygiene and Sanitation, valuing and ensuring the positive impact of the projects implemented and taking into account the adequacy between resources, environment and population.

Access to drinking water                   

• Construction and/or rehabilitation of wells, drilling and harnessing
• Protection of water resources against contamination
• Hand, electrical and solar powered pumping systems
• Creation / rehabilitation of water supply networks (fed-gravity systems, simplified in rural areas, urban networks)
• Implementation of basic treatment systems (filtration, decantation, chlorination, etc.) in order to ensure the quality of drinking water
• Creation / consolidation of community water-management systems (support towards financial, technical and organizational autonomy)
• Technical and water-management training sessions
• Water supply in emergency situations (tank trucks, distribution ramps)

Sanitation                   

• Construction and/or rehabilitation of public and family latrines
• Waste management (compost, ecological sanitation, bio gas)
• Rehabilitation of waste water draining networks
• Domestic garbage management
• Vectors control (mosquitoes, flies, rodents, etc.) and malaria prevention

Hygiene awareness-rising campaign                   

• Participative approach (PHAST methodology, KAP surveys, etc.)
• Training of trainers
• Awareness-rising sessions with the population
• Communication media (posters, signs, leaflets, radio, etc.)

Civil Ingineering                   

• Studies, design and follow-up of the rehabilitation or construction works of various facilities
  • Water supply and sanitation; reservoirs, latrines, septic tanks and gutters
  • Road facilities: roads, tracks, bridges and piers
  • Buildings; schools, shelters, clinics and hospitals
  • Farming facilities; dykes, dams, irrigation canals, farms, greenhouses and reservoirs
  • Environment; bio-gas and bio-climatic constructions
• Training sessions in constructions and facilities maintenance
