Our Water Inclusion initiative, based on research, advocacy, stakeholder facilitation and awareness-raising activities and campaigns, examining the social, environmental and technical circumstances of water accessibility and quality in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

Our research, presented in 2024, explores the socioeconomic, gender, legislative and structural factors that determine the pattern of water poverty in Hungary in the past decade, by examining local and national policy changes, and statistical data.

In 2016-2017, our foundation conducted an awareness-raising campaign which focused on providing evidence-based research for policy-change and community-based small-scale technologically-innovative interventions into the problems with the access, affordability, quality of water and sanitation services in socially excluded neighbourhoods of Central and Eastern Europe, with a particular emphasis on gender and ethnicity, among others.
