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 1, Part I, Line 6

“The water project's volunteer program consists of direct, in-office support and a global community of advocates choosing to use their own networks and influence to raise financial support for water projects through our peer- to-peer fundraising platform. In 2017, the water project benefitted from 3 in-office volunteers. Additionally, over 300 advocates raised financial support for water projects from within their own networks.”

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 2017, 216 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. In 2017, 617 water projects were monitored through 1792 monitoring visits. These monitoring visits triggered 196 service/support 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.”

The ihc is a global humanitarian hub 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 leverages the water project's existing relationships towards water access programs in the immediate region, and also places the water project closer to africa programs. The water project is the first water development organization in the ihc - which has 65 other nonprofit and intergovernmental organizations, un agencies and commercial entities.”

THE WATER PROJECT REQUIRES IN-COUNTRY PARTNERS TO SUBMIT FINANCIAL, BOARD, LOCAL REGISTRATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTATION YEARLY. ADDITIONALLY, PARTNERS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT YEARLY PROPOSALS AND BUDGETS, WHICH BOTH ORGANIZATIONS CLOSELY COLLABORATE ON. THE WATER PROJECT IS PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN PROGRAM AREAS THROUGH REGULAR FIELD AND PARTNER VISITS AND UNANNOUNCED PROJECT SITE VISITS/AUDITS. ADDITIONALLY, REGULAR (NORMALLY WEEKLY) CALLS WITH EACH PARTNER FOCUS ON PROGRAM AND ORGANIZATIONAL PROGRESS AND CHALLENGES, ONGOING TRAINING AND RESOURCING. THE WATER PROJECT REQUIRES MULTIPLE, FORMAL REPORTS FOR EVERY WATER PROJECT.

EACH PHASE OF THE ABOVE REPORTING INCLUDES GPS COORDINATES, PHOTOGRAPHS, DESCRIPTION OF TRAININGS AND WATER PROJECT INSTALLATION, INTERVIEWS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS BEING IMPACTED. EACH PROGRAM HAS A MONITORING PROGRAM IN PLACE AND REPORTING ON ONGOING MONITORING AND SUPPORT OF WATER PROJECTS IS ACTIVELY SHARED WITH THE WATER PROJECT.
