The ReBin Foundation at the 19th World Water Congress in Marrakech
From December 1st to 5th, 2025, the ReBin Foundation for Sustainable Development was represented at the 19th World Water Congress, held in Marrakech, one of the major international gatherings dedicated to the challenges of water, sanitation, and climate resilience.
On this occasion, Léonard Crettol, a volunteer member of the ReBin Foundation, presented our actions and vision to an international panel of experts, public decision-makers, development actors, and practitioners in the field.
“The World Water Congress is a unique space for dialogue between experts, institutions and field actors. It is a valuable opportunity to make concrete solutions, from the field, heard at the highest international level,” emphasizes Léonard Crettol.
Water, sanitation and the circular economy: an integrated approach
Water, sanitation and the circular economy: an integrated approach
“Access to drinking water and sanitation cannot be considered in isolation. By linking these issues to the recovery of organic waste, we create circular systems that meet health, economic and environmental needs simultaneously,” he explains.
Local solutions for global challenges
At the heart of the discussions with the experts present, a strong message emerged: solutions to global water and climate challenges require local initiatives, co-created with communities and adapted to the realities on the ground.
“It is the local populations who sustainably carry out the projects. Our role is to give them the technical, economic and organizational means to become fully autonomous,” recalled Léonard Crettol.
Ensuring sustainable access to drinking water: beyond the immediate crisis, a long-term vision
Beyond the immediate provision of drinking water, the ReBin Foundation’s actions are grounded in a logic of sustainability and long-term service delivery. The systems developed aim to guarantee continuous, safe, and financially viable access to water, relying on circular economy models, local infrastructure maintenance, and community capacity building. By promoting technical autonomy and local governance, the Foundation contributes to securing long-term access to water, even in contexts marked by population growth and the effects of climate change.
A voluntary commitment in service of the mission
Léonard Crettol’s participation in this congress illustrates the voluntary commitment at the heart of the ReBin Foundation and the importance of individual mobilization in the service of the general interest.
“Being a volunteer with the ReBin Foundation means committing to concrete, measurable and dignified solutions for the most vulnerable populations,” he concludes.
The ReBin Foundation warmly thanks Léonard Crettol for his commitment and contribution to the dissemination of our mission internationally.
