Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The Bright Water Foundation (BWF) continues to strengthen its capacity to deliver safe water and sanitation/hygiene (WASH) education at the community level. Recent organizational developments have focused on improving program effectiveness, expanding access to essential supplies, and supporting public health outcomes through behavior change and education. Program Outcome Indicators: Educated more than 10,000 households in safe water principles and practices. Conducted more than 15,000 household teaching visits. Delivered more than 6,000 drinking water containers with lids and taps. Supplied more than 500,000 water purification tablets to families. There was a 37% reduction in cases of acute watery diarrhea among children under five years old at district clinics from 2022 to 2024. The incidence of days lost from school or work due to diarrhea in the target communities decreased by over 50% after one year. The percentage of family water supplies testing "safe" to drink increased from 7% to 80% after one year.$0$98,941
