This year, Water For People (WFP) celebrates is 10th anniversary. Established in
1991, WFP, a private, nonprofit international development organization, was
founded to help impoverished people obtain safe drinking water. Since then, WFP
has improved the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of people by
supporting approximately 400 sustainable drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene
projects in some 40 developing countries worldwide. The milestone of its 10th
anniversary sees WFP shifting its focus from "bricks and mortar" construction
projects to more complete program modules that include capacity building,
training, and education. Its objective is to strengthen communities and
professional associations so they are able to sustain and maintain projects and
initiate new efforts on their own. WFP is looking at expanding its program to
other countries and solidifying and expanding the organization's financial base. Includes 6 references, figure.
