The Association
The Association
An independent Mauritanian organisation dedicated to sanitation and community health.
Our history
AMAA was created in Nouakchott from a simple observation: sanitation workers carry out an essential job without adequate health protection. Public health and environmental professionals came together around this diagnosis, launched field operations, and then broadened the work to community awareness, vocational training and the protection of water resources.
Our mission
To promote safe and inclusive sanitation, protect the health of workers and residents, and support public policy with reliable field data. Every intervention is designed with health and municipal authorities, then documented and evaluated.
Our values
Dignity
Respect for the work and health of sanitation workers.
Transparency
Clear management, accountable to our partners and the public.
Partnership
Acting with institutions, municipalities and communities.
