Story

FOR LESS THAN $1.50 PER PERSON, PER YEAR WE PROVIDE MORE THAN 6 MILLION PEOPLE WITH FREE AND RELIABLE ACCESS TO SAFE WATER.

Every year, over 829,000 people die from diarrhea caused by unsafe drinking water, sanitation, and hand hygiene — and 525,000 of those deaths being children under five. Dispensers for Safe Water ensures safe drinking water in rural communities in Kenya, Uganda, and Malawi through a three-part approach:Installing chlorine dispensers directly at local water sources — a proven, low-cost water treatment solutionWorking with local community promoters who market, maintain, and refill the dispensersOverseeing a locally staffed delivery and repair supply chain.

Dispensers for Safe Water’s focus on behavioral change yields chlorine adoption rates that are five times higher than other water treatment solutions, and are sustained over time.Evidence Action’s model is simple: A community member goes to their usual water source, places their bucket under the dispenser, turns the valve to dispense the correct dose of chlorine, and fills their bucket with water as they normally would. The chlorine disinfects the water during their walk home; by the time they arrive, it is safe to drink. Support Evidence ActionIt costs less than $2 to give a person access to clean water for a year.
