View Water Brigades Logic Model

For ever 1 volunteer, 3.9 community members are given direct access to clean and sufficient water.
Prior to the construction of the water systems, many of these families had little to no access to clean and sufficient water resources, putting them at a higher risk of water-related illnesses. With a sufficient quantity of properly treated water and proper sanitation and hygiene practices, community members can cut off the connection between water and illness and ultimately live healthier and more productive lives. Community Water Councils are trained and empowered to sustainably maintain, operate and administer their water systems into the future.
