Community Ownership.
Professional Oversight.

MissionCleanWater was formed in 2018 in response to a persistent problem in the WASH sector: Approximately 40% of nonprofit clean water projects fail in the first two years.

100% of our projects are running and fully operational.

Our model emphasizes community training and ongoing professional oversight from our team of WASH experts. Monthly inspections and community meetings with Water User Committee ensure that local residents have ownership over their clean water project.
