This photograph shows cans of a chlorine solution used to treat water and make it safer to drink, used as part of the Home Water Treatment project — known by its French acronym TED (Traitement de l'Eau а Domicile) in the Savane district of Matoury, French Guiana, on June 6, 2026. Launched as a pilot in 2025 within the regional health agency's (ARS) 2024–2028 environmental health plan, the TED project supports families who lack secure access to drinking water, teaching them simple, low-cost methods — chiefly chlorination and proper storage — to cut the health risks of consuming untreated water. In French Guiana, around 15 percent of the population is not connected to the public drinking-water network, drawing instead on rainwater, wells, creeks or rivers. The approach relies on door-to-door support: meetings with families, practical demonstrations, tailored advice and home follow-up. (Photo by Ronan LIЙTAR / AFP)
