“We
envision the day when everyone in
the world can take a safe drink of
water.”
The WaterCredit Initiative
is a project of WaterPartners International.
WaterPartners is a U.S.-based nonprofit
organization committed to providing
safe drinking water and sanitation to
people in developing countries. WaterPartners
has helped hundreds of thousands of
people in Bangladesh, El Salvador, Ethiopia,
Honduras, Guatemala, India, Kenya, and
the Philippines.
Community participation
is at the heart of the WaterPartners
philosophy. For a project to be truly
successful, communities must be viewed
and must view themselves as the owners
of the project. That’s why WaterPartners
engages communities at every stage and
at every level– from project planning,
building and financing to ongoing project
maintenance.
By forging partnerships
with carefully-screened partner organizations
and offering innovative financing methods
through its WaterCredit Initiative,
WaterPartners empowers local communities
to develop and sustain solutions to
their own water needs
