| IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom | 0 | In 2012 - thanks to generous donors and partners - WATERisLIFE drilled 4 clean water wells, distributed 8000 straw filters globally and provided 500 ceramic point of use home filter systems to families in Kenya - that is over 12,500 lives directly impacted in 2012.Our 3 year strategy focuses on providing short and long-term clean water sources, sustainable sanitation solutions utilizing Community Led Total Sanitation and hygiene education in schools and communities. Saving lives, transforming communities, and making a direct impact.In 2012 WATERisLIFE created their first staff position, Executive Director - to lead the organization in creating sector awareness, building community driven WASH program focus, and creating solid governance and funding strategies. One of this year's gems - WATERisLIFE in partnership with DDB NY Advertising Agency, traveled to Haiti to create a campaign that tapped into universal human truths - tapping into emotions that are deeper than language and cross cultural divides. The #FirstWorldProblems video was created. The campaign attempted to eliminate the #FirstWorldProblems hashtag on Twitter - the first mission to wipe out a hash tag instead of promote it. This hashtag showcases concerns that seem important to those living in wealthy, industrialized nations - yet are, in fact trivial compared to the issues face by those struggling to survive around our world. With over 3,000,000 cumulative views and wide spread press, the campaign created awareness for WATERisLIFE, raised donations and social media channel/ web interfaces, creating positive change and direct impact. The campaign is a reflection of WATERisLIFE's pro bono partnership with DDB NY - an opportunity for DDB NY to do work that is meaningful - to add value to people's lives while allowing Agency creatives to use their talent for a great cause. A true gem for WATERisLIFE and the campaign's direct beneficiaries - many in Haiti in need of clean water.Other highlights from 2012 include building capacity by creating a comprehensive WASH education program in partnership with Project Wet in action in Kenya, Ghana and Haiti. WATERisLIFE utilized Healthy Habits materials in Swahili, Creole and began the translation of Healthy Habits materials in Northern Ghana's tribal language Dagbani which will impact over 309 schools - 38,000 students Continued program development in Northern Ghana has led to furthering the WATERisLIFE Rotary International Funding partnership - an opportunity to bring WASH programs to 290 villages in Tolon and Kumbungu Districts. In 2012, WATERisLIFE worked with many global partners, local governments and communities, social organizations, businesses, NGOs, ministries and other stakeholders to develop WASH programs and implementation. This year, WATERisLIFE worked with Arizona State University College of Technology and Innovation Global Resolve on partnership projects to test POU filter usage and develop Community Profile data capture, assessment and analysis. Just one example of partnership and collaboration to create WASH solutions globally.As WATERisLIFE continues to grow - we remain focused on carrying out the mission to provide sustainable WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) programs to those in need - to save lives and transform communities. |
