WATER FOR PEOPLE IN RWANDA

we believe in a world where everyone has safe drinking water, forever

In 2008, Water For People opened its office in Kigali, and has since been working with partners to implement water, sanitation and hygiene programs. By also supporting local institutions, Water For People is promoting sustainable access to these services. 

We're working with the districts of Kicukiro, Rulindo, Gicumbi, Karongi  and Gisagara to bring clean water and sanitation solutions to their communities for generations to come. Ten more districts (Nyagatare, Kayonza, Rwamagana, Ngoma, Kirehe, Nyabihu, Ngororero, Ruhango, Nyanza and Nyamagabe) are supported under the five-year, USAID-funded Isoko y'Ubuzima Project. The purpose of this project is to enhance the institutional strengthening and improve service delivery of water and sanitation services and products.

Our sustainable approach ensures that reliable and lasting water and sanitation services are brought to every family, school, and health clinic in the districts where we work. We partner with local governments, businesses, and individuals, providing the training, tools, and support they need to bring clean water and sanitation systems to their own communities. Then we ensure they have the resources and knowledge they need to maintain those systems for generations to come.

We call this impact model Everyone Forever, or here in Rwanda, the District Wide Approach. 

15th Year Anniversary
