Tatirano Social Enterprise
Clean water for everyone in Madagascar
Tatirano: Handeha miaraka itsika
Watch the trailer below for our new documentary about Tatirano, rainwater harvesting in Madagascar, and why it matters to tackle the water crisis together.
About us
We are a social enterprise called Tatirano aiming to empower women and lift people out of poverty by ensuring long term access to clean water for everyone, everywhere in Madagascar.
We believe in a local service model that puts women at the centre of the problem that mostly affects them – the water crisis. We stand with the UN in declaring access to water and sanitation a fundamental human right – yet a lot of people still lack these basic elements of life.
Installation and rehabilitation of water infrastructure at schools and in communities
Ongoing monitoring, evaluation and repairs ensure long-term functionality of water infrastructure
Sales of nationally-certified drinking water pay for ongoing maintenance and repairs of water infrastructure
Innovation to inform future water infrastructure design
By adopting a variety of rainwater harvesting techniques, we ensure clean water is available in schools, in hospitals, at homes and in communities.
Last week, we provided 39,116 people with clean water. How do we know? We keep a track each week of everyone that is using our systems and exactly how much is water is used.
So far, our systems have dispensed a total of 25,730,019 litres of clean, safe water.
We hope that by combining a business model with social aims, we can be flexible, responsive, ambitious and ultimately independent so that our organisation can always stand on its own two feet. This means we can install more systems, reach more people with clean water and help people lift themselves out of poverty: less time spent collecting water, less school and work days missed due to illness and more time spent on LIVING!
