Our aim is to reach everyone, everywhere with clean water, good sanitation services and hygiene education. But we cannot do it alone. Collaboration makes our mission possible. We work with national and international organizations (Bilateral and multilateral donors) such as the United Nations, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the European Union. Together we provide appropriate, innovative and long-term solutions to address complex water, sanitation, and hygiene issues and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

To achieve our aim, we support national and state governments in developing and implementing a range of innovative intervention models for improved water supply, sanitation and hygiene. We also conduct research and generate knowledge for evidence-based policies and pilot new technologies that benefit communities at large.

Effective partnerships strengthen our core work for clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene - the three essentials that unlock progress for people, communities and economies worldwide.

Why partner with us?

Our aim is to reach everyone, everywhere with clean water, good sanitation services and hygiene education. But we cannot do it alone. Collaboration makes our mission possible.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set the way forward towards ending all forms of poverty. We collaborate and work with other non-WASH partners in consortiums as we believe that water, sanitation, and hygiene are the main contributors to address interlinked Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to provide appropriate, dependable and long term solutions to address complex water, sanitation, and hygiene issues.
