The Nina Manzi is a project which crystalizes two of Viva con Agua’s cultural basic assumptions – connection, and potential. This project provides mobile sanitation facilities (showers and toilets) to homeless people in Cape Town. It is an immediate and empathetic response to the lack of access to sanitation in urban areas. Nina Manzi seeks to create networks with those who share our vision in order to enable transformation in the lives of homeless people.

Art for WASH is a project which reflects one of our basic assumptions – joy. This project engages schools and learners to raise awareness and improve the practice of hygiene behaviour –primarily, handwashing with soap. Local artists and children have painted murals on toilets and school walls to present WASH Warriors created by the children themselves. These Warriors are superhero characters inspired by the themes of water, sanitation, and hygiene which also feature in our comic book
