Who provides the funds to install WaterHealth Centres?
The funds are provided by the community through its own resources, government leadership, or through private sponsors. To facilitate the purchase, WaterHealth provides an innovative financing program in most cases that meets qualification criteria, such as the size of the community, potential user interest, and willingness to pay. In such cases, the village leadership or other sponsors provide a down payment for the facility. A significant portion of the cost is then financed. The collection of user fees allows the repayment of financing costs over time, after which the facilities become income-generating assets for the community.
