Evidence Action is expanding Dispensers for Safe Water, a rural water service focused on increasing household water chlorination. Evidence Action has focused on the use of carbon credits. Chlorine treatment reduces the need to burn firewood for boiling water and consequently is considered a low-carbon approach. The project has been certified to receive carbon credits for the associated reduction in emissions per dispenser.
