CAWST - the Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology

CAWST, the Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology, is a nonprofit organisation that provides training and consulting to organizations that work directly with populations in developing countries who lack access to clean water and basic sanitation.

CAWST "walks beside" hundreds of organizations—government agencies, community groups, and local and international NGOs of all sizes—in 69 countries as they develop their capacities to deliver water and sanitation programs locally.

CAWST has convincingly demonstrated its ability to catalyze community action in developing countries to initiate and operate water and sanitation programs for those who live without.

CAWST address the global need for safe drinking water and sanitation by building local knowledge and skills on household solutions that people can implement themselves.
