How does Water For People choose communities/projects to assist?
The first factor is a clear need for an improved water supply and/or sanitation. It must be in a community in which Water For People can make a meaningful and lasting impact. There are many considerations that factor into a decision to work in a particular community, including costs, the availability of a trustworthy NGO partner, the support of local government, and a safe environment. To ensure system sustainability, Water For People requires a commitment from a beneficiary community. Every household must contribute either financially and/or in-kind labor on the project.
