Sanitation

For families to invest in decent bathrooms, it is necessary to have materials and financing. Water For People ensures that products such as toilets are available locally for families upgrading their bathrooms. We also support local microfinance institutions that offer loans for sanitation improvements and train bricklayers to build toilets.
