Water1st was started in 2005 by a group of professionals with solid experience in the water and sanitation sectors. Our focus was simple–to build an organization with the ability to consistently implement the highest quality water and sanitation projects for the world’s most vulnerable communities.
Our comprehensive, cost-effective approach impacts the health, economy, education, food security, and overall well-being of our project communities.
