Organizations Filed Purposes: THROUGH WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE PROGRAMS LED BY SOCIAL MOBILIZERS, WATER ACTS AS A CATALYST FOR COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION THAT GOES MUCH DEEPER THAN THE WELL. CONTRIBUTIONS AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES ALIKE KEEP CLEAN WATER FLOWING.

WINE TO WATER IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORT LIFE AND DIGNITY FOR ALL THROUGH THE POWER OF CLEAN WATER.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - CLEAN WATER AND PROPER HYGIENE HABITS ARE ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS IN THE CLASSROOM. EVERY DAY, WATER BORNE ILLNESSES, LIKE CHOLERA AND DIARRHEA, PREVENT CHILDREN FROM ATTENDING SCHOOL AND LIMIT THEIR ABILITY TO THRIVE BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM. DECREASING EXPOSURE TO THESE ILLNESSES MEANS CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM REGULARLY, ENABLING THEM TO GROW UP TO BECOME THE INNOVATORS AND LEADERS NEEDED IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. BEFORE THE ORGANIZATION'S INTERVENTION, SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY WERE SPENDING MONEY ON BOTTLED WATER- A PERISHABLE AND TEMPORARY RESOURCE FOR WATER ACCESS. IMPLEMENTING A FILTER SYSTEM ALLOWS SCHOOLS TO SAVE MONEY, REDUCE FREQUENCY OF ILLNESS AND REDUCE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. STUDENTS ALSO LEARN VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT SUSTAINABLE WATER USAGE THAT THEY CAN SHARE WITH THEIR PARENTS AND FUTURE FAMILIES, RIPPLING POSITIVE IMPACT ACROSS GENERATIONS. THIS YEAR THE ORGANIZATION IMPLEMENTED 84 CERAMIC FILTERS, 79 HANDWASHING STATIONS, 46 WASH TRAININGS, AND 22 SCHOOL HANDWASHING STATIONS.

NEPAL - THIS YEAR IN SIMARA, WINE TO WATER NEPAL CREATED ITS FIRST EVER ALL WOMEN WATER USER COMMITTEE, WHICH PAVED THE WAY TO FINDING SUSTAINABLE CLEAN WATER SOLUTIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY. THROUGH 24 COMMITTEE TRAININGS AND WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE ("WASH") EDUCATION, THESE 11 WOMEN WERE EMPOWERED WITH KNOWLEDGE ON BOOKKEEPING, FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, WATER USE ISSUES, CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES. INVESTING IN THE EDUCATION OF THESE WOMEN AND ELECTING THEM AS WATER USAGE LEADERS BUILT A FOUNDATION FOR THE COMMUNITY TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN HEALTH, EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES. THROUGH THIS COMMITTEE, MULTIPLE CLEAN WATER PROJECTS WERE EXECUTED, IMPACTING MANY ASPECTS OF THE COMMUNITY IN SIMARA. THIS YEAR THE ORGANIZATION IMPLEMENTED 3 WATER SYSTEMS, 2 SCHOOL HANDWASHING STATIONS, 149 TAP STANDS, 41 LATRINES, AND 8 WASH EDUCATION SESSIONS.

COLOMBIA - WINE TO WATER COLOMBIA ADOPTED A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ENGAGING THE PEOPLE OF SANTA LUZIA BY STARTING A COMMUNITY-BASED WASH PROGRAM, WHERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WORKED ALONGSIDE OUR TEAM TO STRATEGICALLY PLAN AND IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABLE WATER ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES. TOGETHER, WINE TO WATER DEVELOPED AN APPROACH TAILORED SPECIFICALLY TO SANTA LUZIA'S NEEDS, INCLUDING BUILDING A WATER ACCESS SYSTEM AND PROVIDING FILTRATION FOR EVERY HOME. TO ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR CLEAN WATER, THE ORGANIZATION KICKSTARTED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF IN-HOME FILTRATION. WINE TO WATER THEN INSTALLED A RESERVOIR TANK FOR THE COMMUNITY, ALONG WITH AN ADDITIONAL TANK FOR THE SCHOOL. BUT THE ORGANIZATION'S PLANS DID NOT STOP THERE; WORK CONTINUES ON BUILDING THE WELL AND PIPING SYSTEM FOR TAP STANDS, WHICH, WHEN COMPLETED, WILL MAKE THE ENTIRE WATER ACCESS SYSTEM READY FOR USE. THIS YEAR THE ORGANIZATION IMPLEMENTED 1 COMMUNITY WASTER ACCESS SYSTEM AND 200 FILTERS FOR VENEZUELAN REFUGEES.
