DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Notre Voix installs chlorine dispensers next to community water sources and promotes their use to increase access to safe water.
The pilot will launch in two health zones including Fizi and Kimbi-Lulenge in the Fizi territory. The Notre Voix model helps people treat their water using a safe, pre-measured dose of chlorine in order to prevent waterborne diseases such as childhood diarrhea. Target communities will be requested to appoint promoters to encourage use of the dispensers. Promoters' responsibilities will include educating the community, refilling the dispensers, and receiving the chlorine solution for refills from the Notre Voix programme manager.
Notre Voix was founded by Makene Mtambala Charles, Yalala Jumaine, and Mauwa Mangala Lucie who fled eastern DRC during the 1996 civil war and met while living in Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania. Their experiences made them passionate about humanitarian assistance and committed to helping those in need.
