In india, we work to improve existing water and sanitation infrastructure and build the capacities of communities and local governments to operate and maintain these services. India operations began in west bengal, and have since expanded to reach 26 districts in west bengal, bihar, maharashtra, tamil nadu, and odisha. In addition to supporting tube wells and piped water projects, we have installed drinking and handwashing stations in schools and clinics, and has rehabilitated or constructed new sanitation facilities. We also played a role in the removal of arsenic and other contaminants from water, reducing water-related health risks in the communities. We directly reached 24,529 individuals with improved water services, 101,321 with improved sanitation services, and 27,068 with hygiene education.

We have also served as a proving ground for entrepreneurs with a growth of market-based solutions. Pit emptying businesses are thriving and decentralized fecal sludge treatment plants are expanding. We have been working to build and strengthen partnerships to improve sustainability while increasing coverage. The everyone forever model has been replicated and tools related to systems strengthening have been taken up regionally.
