Access to clean, safe water is a step towards economic empowerment.
A lack of clean water affects every aspect of a person’s life.
The solution should too.
$260 billion
is lost each year globally due to a lack of clean water and sanitation
$18.5 billion
in economic benefits from avoided deaths alone if there was universal access to clean water and sanitation
1,100%
return on investment for every $1 invested in water and sanitation
The good news is that providing a community with access to clean water can profoundly impact its economy.
For 30 years, we’ve been serving the extreme rural poor with the world’s most sustainable water hygiene and sanitation solution.
In our project areas, we have seen this kind of impact:
92%
decrease in households earning less than 61 cents per day
470%
increase in households that have been able to meet their basic needs
17.8 X
times revenue growth in one year for entrepreneurial ventures like Sylvia’s soap making cooperative
