PRACTICA foundation
Despite the huge need, the technological means that can help the rural poor to improve their own livelihoods are not available or simply non-existent. It is against this background that PRACTICA foundation was established. PRACTICA foundation aims to facilitate research, development and commercial application of technology in the field of water and energy in developing countries.
PRACTICA has become a valued partner in large development projects that include the introduction and dissemination of appropriate technologies as manual well drilling and rope pumps. Within these projects, PRACTICA supports the technology components and implements training courses and capacity building for the public and private sector.
Other areas of work include product development, applied and scientific research, feasibility studies and consultancy services.
