Water1st International Information

Water1st is on a mission to free women and girls around the world from the burden of water collection. Every Water1st project includes a 24/7 supply of safe water at household faucets and a toilet. Water flowing from a household tap makes it possible to have sufficient water quantities to perform the most critical public health activities like washing hands and using a low-flush toilet. A faucet at the home has also been proven to increase income, educational achievement for girls, and the likelihood the water system will be sustainable over the long-term. Communities in low-income settings around the world face many challenges. The pathway to a better future begins with household access to piped water and toilets.
