Living Waters For The World - Sustainability

Sustainability

As the number of LWW treatment systems in close geopolitical proximity steadily increased, the idea of grouping these systems and their partners into mutually supportive networks has taken hold. The networks are managed by a network coordinating team that pairs a LWW coordinator in the US with a coordinator in a specific country or geographical area to:

• create viable LWW projects,
• strengthen the partners’ relationship during the covenant period,
• be aware of the status of all systems in the network area,
• facilitate access to materials and expertise necessary to maintain systems in good order,
• and ensure the long-term sustainability of the clean water systems

As of May 2012, networks existed in: Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and the YucatanPeninsula.

The network model has proven effective at allowing LWW to expand the scope of its services while maintaining quality and responsiveness in providing clean water to communities in need. As installations expand into new parts of the world networks will be developed to support them
