Hydroaid’s projects resort to the support of the International Training Center of the International Labor Organization; ERIS; IPALMO; International Association of the Non-confessional Volunteers; Istituto Italo Latino Americano as well as of several scientific associations.
Hydroaid deals with two aspects which are universally considered as a top priority in development: namely, the issues related to water and to the so-called “capacity-building”.
