Message About 40% of rural water systems fail within 5 years, partially due to a shortage of trained water professionals. We’re changing that in Tanzania through a national capacity development program.n Agreement with the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA)— November 2024: Established a partnership with the government agency that provides water for 60% of Tanzanian Leadership Summit—December 2024: Created a three-year capacity development plann Training Kick Off Meeting— February 2025: Trained regional leads and toured a solar powered water system (SPWS) siten Online Training— May 2025: Delivered SPWS training to 262 water professionals2025SummerImpact ReportExpanding Water Access in TanzaniaIn Honduras, rural water boards are trusted by their communities to manage safe water every day. Yet they face signicant challenges and lack key resources and skills to address them effectively. To better support them, Global Water Center launched a program to listen closely, understand their needs, and co-create a plan to professionalize rural water management for lasting impact.Strengthening Rural Water Systems in Honduras Recent Milestones: From Tanzania to Honduras to India, we’re investing in solutions that are rooted, replicable, and ready to grow. Together, we’re turning local breakthroughs into global progress.What’s Next:Trainings on borehole supervision, chlorination, supply chain logistics, and groundwater management will help create a replicable model for East Africa.Next Steps:Rallying government ministries, donors, and local institutions to implement system-wide reform that can be replicated across Latin America.How We’re Laying the Groundwork for Lasting Change: n Nationwide Survey of 151 Water Boards: Created a clear picture of current needs n Training Landscape Mapping: Analyzed support offered by nonprots, government, and universities n Roadmap for Professionalization: Brought together 24 organizations to form a plan to strengthen rural water boards n Widespread Support for the Roadmap: 58 leaders attended a webinar about the national plan Together, we’re building sustainable solutions from the ground up.
Advancing Solar Solutions in Karnataka, India This summer, we’re celebrating our two-year partnership with the government of Karnataka, which supported capacity development in solar powered water systems for over 500 engineers. Our demonstration site is a living model of what’s possible, providing:The demonstration site is now sparking interest from other regions looking to replicate the approach. With continued partnership, this model can be scaled across India and beyond. Join the Movement At Global Water Center, we believe in a world where everyone has access to safely managed water. But we can’t get there alone. n Safe, reliable water for residentsn Hands-on training for water professionalsn A place for the community to learn about climate-smart solutionsThe Gathering: A Water Sector RoundtableThis summer, we hosted a landmark event with leaders from across the global water sector for two days of bold visioning and strategic dialogue. Together, we explored ve core strategies for solving the global water crisis: human capacity development, government engagement & public-private partnerships, blended nancing, data for action & accountability, and collaborative impact. Three new projects have started as a direct result of the event, and momentum is building as more partners step forward to collaborate. Doors Opening in Southeast Asia A partnership with TapEffect is laying the groundwork for future projects in Cambodia. We’ve also signed an agreement for further development of water professionals across the region.Summer Impact Report 2025Will you help scale solutions that work?Join Us!https://globalwatercenter.org/get-involved/(843) 243-7371 info@globalwatercenter.orgglobalwatercenter.orgEIN #84-5144926
