| Honduras | Program Services | Water 1st provided grants to a non-governmental organization (NGO) working in the Department of Lempira that helps communities organize and build systems to provide piped water and toilets at every household. In 2019, the largest project we've supported to date was finalized in the following 17 communities in in the muncipalities of Candelaria, Mapulaca, Virginia, Piraera with a combined population of 7,293 people: El Portillo Flor, Camapara, San Lorenzo, La Isleta, Azacualpa, El Limon, El Portillo, San Antonio, Suyapita Pichigual, Santa Lucia, Guaquincora, Agua Zarca, Viginia Centro, El Rodeo, Llano Grande, El Coyolar, El Zarzal, Tambla Centro, and San Antonio Granadilla.

Seven additional projects serving were initiated in 2019 and will be completed in 2020. | - | - | $709,859 |
| Bangladesh | Program Services | Water 1st provided grants to a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Dhaka, Bangladesh in order to support the implementation of projects that include provision of convenient, safe water, hygiene education, and sanitary toilets. The Organization's goal is to maximize cost-effectiveness by leveraging local resources. In the urban slums of Dhaka (the capital city), Chittagong and Khulna (the country's 2nd and 3rd largest cities, respectively) beneficiaries pay 100 percent of the capital costs of their projects through one or two-year loans. The loans are repaid to the local non-governmental organization, who is the recipient of Water First's grants. Repaid loan funds are revolved and used for additional water and sanitation projects and create a sustainable source of funds for Water First's Bangladesh partner. In 2018, Water First supported the construction of 319 small-scale water systems serving 10,086 people in urban slum settlements. | - | - | $652,909 |
| Mozambique | Program Services | The Organization completed the majority of the work on its second project in Mozambique, supporting the community of Bilibiza with access to water, toilets, and hygiene education. The project design includes 400 household connections to the piped water system. Additionally, the Organization supported recovery efforts in our project areas as a result of the humanitarian emergency created by Cyclone Kenneth. | - | - | $472,916 |
| Ethiopia | Program Service | Water 1st provided grants to a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Ethiopia in order to support the implementation of projects that include provision of convenient, safe water, hygiene education, and sanitary latrines. In Oromia, Ethiopia, ongoing social unrest continued to complicated efforts to construct the Dima Jeliwan project. Water1st is working closely with its Ethiopian partner organization to quickly begin water service to 750 households/3,800 people. | - | - | $110,938 |
| India | Program Service | Water 1st decided not to fund the construction of new projects through our partner in the Sundarbans. Our decision to end funding was based upon our conclusion that the program was at capacity & was not likely to evolve further through our participation. However, our loan program continues & new water points and toilets are being constructed using revolving loan funds. Repaid loan funds from previous water projects has allowed our local partner organization to drill two new wells and install handpumps to serve 2 additional rural communities in the Sundarbans region of West Bengal since our grant funding was discontinued. In 2019, Water First kept in contact with our India partner via email and they reported that all systems are functioning. | - | - | - |

The loans are repaid to the local non-governmental organization, who is the recipient of Water First's grants. Repaid loan funds are revolved and used for additional water and sanitation projects and create a sustainable source of funds for Water First's Bangladesh partner.

| IRS990ScheduleF/AccountActivitiesOutsideUSGrp/SpecificServicesProvidedTxt | 0 | Water 1st provided grants to a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Dhaka, Bangladesh in order to support the implementation of projects that include provision of convenient, safe water, hygiene education, and sanitary toilets. The Organization's goal is to maximize cost-effectiveness by leveraging local resources. In the urban slums of Dhaka (the capital city), Chittagong and Khulna (the country's 2nd and 3rd largest cities, respectively) beneficiaries pay 100 percent of the capital costs of their projects through one or two-year loans. The loans are repaid to the local non-governmental organization, who is the recipient of Water First's grants. Repaid loan funds are revolved and used for additional water and sanitation projects and create a sustainable source of funds for Water First's Bangladesh partner. In 2018, Water First supported the construction of 319 small-scale water systems serving 10,086 people in urban slum settlements. |
| IRS990ScheduleF/AccountActivitiesOutsideUSGrp/SpecificServicesProvidedTxt | 1 | Water 1st provided grants to a non-governmental organization (NGO) working in the Department of Lempira that helps communities organize and build systems to provide piped water and toilets at every household. In 2019, the largest project we've supported to date was finalized in the following 17 communities in in the muncipalities of Candelaria, Mapulaca, Virginia, Piraera with a combined population of 7,293 people: El Portillo Flor, Camapara, San Lorenzo, La Isleta, Azacualpa, El Limon, El Portillo, San Antonio, Suyapita Pichigual, Santa Lucia, Guaquincora, Agua Zarca, Viginia Centro, El Rodeo, Llano Grande, El Coyolar, El Zarzal, Tambla Centro, and San Antonio Granadilla. Two small projects were started and completed in 2019 in the communities of La Ceibita and El Con Canoa with combined populations of 258 people. Seven additional projects serving were initiated in 2019 and will be completed in 2020. |
| IRS990ScheduleF/AccountActivitiesOutsideUSGrp/SpecificServicesProvidedTxt | 2 | The Organization completed the majority of the work on its second project in Mozambique, supporting the community of Bilibiza with access to water, toilets, and hygiene education. The project design includes 400 household connections to the piped water system. Additionally, the Organization supported recovery efforts in our project areas as a result of the humanitarian emergency created by Cyclone Kenneth. |
| IRS990ScheduleF/AccountActivitiesOutsideUSGrp/SpecificServicesProvidedTxt | 3 | Water 1st provided grants to a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Ethiopia in order to support the implementation of projects that include provision of convenient, safe water, hygiene education, and sanitary latrines. In Oromia, Ethiopia, ongoing social unrest continued to complicated efforts to construct the Dima Jeliwan project. Water1st is working closely with its Ethiopian partner organization to quickly begin water service to 750 households/3,800 people. |
| IRS990ScheduleF/AccountActivitiesOutsideUSGrp/SpecificServicesProvidedTxt | 4 | Water 1st decided not to fund the construction of new projects through our partner in the Sundarbans. Our decision to end funding was based upon our conclusion that the program was at capacity & was not likely to evolve further through our participation. However, our loan program continues & new water points and toilets are being constructed using revolving loan funds. Repaid loan funds from previous water projects has allowed our local partner organization to drill two new wells and install handpumps to serve 2 additional rural communities in the Sundarbans region of West Bengal since our grant funding was discontinued. In 2019, Water First kept in contact with our India partner via email and they reported that all systems are functioning. |
