CLEAN INTERNATIONAL INC

CLEAN International is dedicated to the eradication of waterborne illness and an end to the daily walk for water worldwide.

CLEAN International's programs align with and support the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal #6 of access to clean water and sanitation for everyone by 2030. CLEAN International addresses all elements of the SDG 6 from the protection and conservation of water and the environment to the need for millions around the world to have access to clean water and safe sanitation.

CLEAN International works every day to:

1) protect the environment and conserve water,
2) educate others about the issue of a lack of access to clean water and sanitation, and
3) provide sustainable, affordable clean water and sanitation through community run programs and technologies.

To accomplish each of these strategies, CLEAN International first identifies the need and its location. Through interviews, data collection and partner organizations, CLEAN documents the regions of need and the barriers to access to clean water and sanitation for each community. Once the needs are identified, CLEAN International then identifies leaders within the community and partner organizations with whom to implement sustainable solutions. To be sustainable, technologies and programs must be needed and wanted by the community, able to be maintained, fixed and evaluated by the community and have a positive impact on community members and the environment.

CLEAN International is fortunate to have a Board of Directors with decades of collective program management, fundraising and international public health knowledge and experience. In addition, CLEAN International is equipped with a team of mentors within the water and sanitation industries as well as business executives to ensure programs and technologies being implemented have positive and sustainable short and long-term impacts for communities worldwide and for the environment.

CLEAN International's vision of the eradication of waterborne illness and an end to the daily walk for water is helping to move the entire global sector forward toward vision achievement of SDG 6. We are thrilled to bring our experience and vision to the extremely important issue of clean, sustainable water and sanitation worldwide.
