Founded in 2008, better with water (previously Eau et Vie) is a French non-confessional and non-political international solidarity association, inspired by an idea: slum dwellers also deserve and can afford sustainable water supply in their homes.
The levers of action are access to a water service at home, the absence of which is a real scourge in densely populated urban areas, and whose impact is also achieved through community building.
In 2022, Eau et Vie manages 4 programs in 2 countries (Bangladesh and the Philippines) and has 52,000 beneficiaries, for a global budget of 4.2 M€, with mixed financing (private and public).
In the context of establishing a new position, better with water is actively seeking a:
