Water & Sanitation in Rwanda
"Yussuf Uwamahoro, the EWSA Deputy Director General in charge of Energy, mentioned that the target is to have 100 percent of all Rwandan population access clean water by 2017...currently, over 80 percent of the Rwandan population has access to clean and safe water" (New Times).
"74 percent of households have access to an improved source of drinking water. The most common source of drinking water used by the households is protected spring water, which accounts for 38 percent of usage, followed by public tap/standpipe (26 percent). Only 5 percent of the households have running water in their dwelling or courtyard. Overall, 25 percent of households use unimproved sources of water, which is considered unhealthy...(53 percent) spend 30 minutes or longer to get to the water source, and only two in five (42 percent) spend fewer than 30 minutes. Only 5 percent of the households have water on their premises" (GoR Survey 2010).
