About Water.org

Water.org is an international non-governmental organization working to
increase access to water, sanitation
and hygiene (WASH). Water.org has been in operation since 1990, implementing water and sanitation
programs in conjunction with local partners
such as financial institutions and water/sanitation service providers.
Water.org programs have reached over 3 million people in 12 countries.  Water.org has scaled its WaterCredit initiative over the last several
years, which works by
building the capacity
of carefully selected local financial
institutions to offer affordable financing
for water and
sanitation facilities. WaterCredit programs support
financial institutions through a combination of financial assistance and technical support. Since 2003, Water.org has implemented
WaterCredit programs
with 66 partner financial
institutions, facilitating over 550,000 water and
sanitation loans totaling
over $120 million. Water.org launched operations in Indonesia in early 2014 and seeks
to build relationships with a broad range of financial institutions (microfinance institutions, commercial
banks, BPRs, cooperatives) and water/sanitation service providers.  Water.org Indonesia had developed a model to
strengthen, finance, and expand Community Based Organizations/BPSPAMS/HIPPAMS
(CBOs) established under the PAMSIMAS and SANIMAS programs. Water.org seeks to
provide additional support to build CBO governance structures, technical and
