FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

“The water project, inc. Unlocks human potential by providing sustainable water and sanitation programs to needlessly suffering communities in sub- saharan africa. All donations are linked to specific water projects through online reporting, which allows donors to see how specific water programs impact communities and view ongoing functionality of those projects.”

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“In partnership with safe water and sustainable hygiene initiative, western water and sanitation forum and africa sand dam foundation, the water project co-developed and strengthened water, hygiene and sanitation programs resulting in the implementation of new drilled and hand-dug wells, rehabilitation of broken wells, protection of springs and construction of subsurface dames, rainwater harvesting tanks, latrines and handwashing stations in kenya. In 2016, 165 new projects were constructed. All programs include community vetting and engagement, hygiene training, water project implementation, post-construction community engagement, multi-year monitoring/evaluation and maintenance/repair initiatives. The water project's kenya program included a mobile monitoring program (using smart-phones) to collect real-time data on past and present water points. The water project's operation and maintenance program provides ongoing support to non/under functioning water points. Additionally, in 2016, the water project continued development of "the water promise" initiative - deploying 42 remote sensors on hand-pumps to provide real time data on functionality and water usage. This program includes a 5-year community commitment with a goal of developing an efficient model for ongoing service and support of water systems. In 2016, 358 water projects were monitored through 1204 monitoring visits. These monitoring visits triggered 154 maintenance and repair visits to provide ongoing water service and support to communities. Rigorous and ongoing online reporting links givers with all of the above activity, showing how each donation makes a tangible impact in the water program and community.”

“In partnership with streams in burkina, the water project co-developed and strengthened water, hygiene and sanitation programs resulting in the launch of a new mobile monitoring program (using smart-phones) to collect real- time data on past water points. The water project's operation and maintenance program provides ongoing support to non/under functioning water points. In 2016, 66 water projects were monitored through 68 monitoring visits. These visits provided ongoing water service and support to communities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ in 2016, the water project began a vetting process to determine viability of a regional office within the international humanitarian city (ihc) in dubai. The ihc is a global humanitarian hub of 65 non-profit and intergovernmental organizations, un agencies, and commercial entities in the region, supporting development and relief efforts in the middle east, asia, americas and africa. Membership to the ihc is by invitation only, and fixed costs are highly subsidized through the united arab emirates. This presence will primarily leverage the water project's existing relationships towards water access programs in the immediate region, and will also place the water project closer to africa programs.”
