Mission Statement
Provide an exponentially increasing number of disenfranchised schools with water, sanitation and hygiene education so as to enhance the experience and retention of young people (especially girls) in schools and to empower them with health, dignity and pride in their environment - so that they eventually pass on this learning to their communities and to future generations. In 10 years our goal is to have served 15,000 schools and over 3 million children.
Description
Water Centric (WC) is a 'bridge' organization between geographic areas that are in most urgent need of improved water, sanitation and hygiene and the international agencies, technical experts and individuals committed to changing the situation. WC connects local solutions with international funding and expertise - and quickly brings practical and sustainable projects to scale. WC does this by leveraging the power of its social and professional networks to first find effective local partners and then the appropriate solutions to their particular problems.
