Pure Water for The World, Inc.

Pure Water for the World’s organizational goals are focused on empowering people with sustainable access to life’s most basic necessities: safe water and sanitation.

Our 5-year strategic plan includes:
1. Expanding the implementation of PWW’s operating model (which incorporates safe water and sanitation tools, with critical hygiene and sanitation education and long-term follow-up and monitoring) in Haiti and Honduras. Existing work incorporates comprehensive programs in family homes and schools, serving entire communities.
2. Expanding PWW's operating model to incorporate institutional WASH, particularly for WASH in health care facilities.
3. Become a leader in comprehensive WASH impact and evaluation.
4. Grow our impact in Central America, through existing and expanding WASH training and consulting services, to build the WASH capacity of other entities.
5. Engage with other entities and government agencies to establish more expansive disaster/emergency relief plans, to serve people needing emergency assistance in alignment with our mission and vision.

In alignment with our goals, we have defined objectives and strategies to reach the goals. In brief summary, they include (but are not limited to):
*Expanding our presence in Honduras and Haiti, working with local government officials and other stakeholders to target and serve new communities with appropriate WASH solutions.
*Further developing, evaluating, refining, and codifying our practices for institutional WASH services as well as working with local and national government entities to support the integration of WASH into school curriculum.
*Developing and implementing PWW’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework for short- and long-term impact evaluation and program improvement, as well as sharing best practices and contributing to WASH conversations on both regional and global platforms.
*Offering and delivering WASH training and educational programs to other nonprofits, educational institutions, government agencies, water boards, businesses, and others learning how to effectively implement sustainable WASH programs.
*Evaluating, refining, and codifying our policies and practices for cooperating with international, national and local institutions for emergency and disaster response services.

PWW has strong, well-established teams of local staff members in both Honduras and Haiti, who have worked with the organization for years. Their institutional knowledge and extensive experience enables them to help PWW grow existing programming to reach toward the new goals, all of which ultimately address SDG-6. Additionally, our well-established Water Expertise Training Center enables us to share our WASH experience and expertise with other organizations and entities, enabling our collective reach to extend far beyond the capacity of our own staff. The result is more families and communities are empowered with the tools and education to experience reliable, sustainable safe water and sanitation programs.

Over the past 22 years, PWW has served over 500 communities, reaching over 750,000 individuals. We've expanded WASH programs, from simply providing clean water filters to addressing all of the WASH components, to meet the critical needs of children and families.
