In 2018, MSF launched a pilot project to prevent waterborne diseases by rehabilitating and drilling wells in Zimbabwe. The results were very successful. Zimbabwe experienced extreme outbreaks of cholera and typhoid affecting 10,000 people. MSF created a long-term solution by rehabilitating 50 water wells and train participants to drill water holes. This approach resulted in a drop from 10,000 cholera cases to just 2 in 5 months. Pollet Water Group, and by extension Pollet Group, wants to help MSF scale up this project to new countries. Because of our key role in the provision of drinking water to sustainably control or prevent disease transmission, Pollet Water Group joins forces and becomes a philanthropic partner of Médecins Sans Frontières.
