INTRODUCTION
& BACKGROUND
 About Water.orgWater.org has been
at the forefront of developing and delivering solutions to the water crisis for
more than two decades. Founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, Water.org
challenges the traditional approach by pioneering innovative, community-driven,
and market-based solutions to ensure all people have access to safe water and
sanitation; giving women hope, children health, and communities a future.
Water.org has positively transformed the lives of more than three million
individuals in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean by providing
access to safe water and improved sanitation. Water.org’s headquarters is in
Kansas City, Missouri, USA.ApproachWater.org empowers
people to take action and deliver solutions that accelerate progress and
impact. The approach ranges from building and rehabilitating wells and toilets
to pioneering market‐based approaches such as WaterCredit. Its work is
comprehensive and demand‐driven – communities know what solutions will work
best for them in the long‐term – and rooted in local technologies and
innovations. Water.org works in partnership with local non-governmental
organizations and microfinance institutions to achieve its objectives. The construction
training videos will focus on providing visual guidance to local masons on how to
build proper water and sanitation facilities. WaterCredit
Initiative
WaterCredit empowers

water and sanitation needs. This comprehensive initiative puts microfinance
tools to work in the water and sanitation sector.II.
