Water For People works across Latin America, Asia, and Africa to address the global water crisis. They equip communities with lasting access to clean water and dignified bathrooms – for Everyone Forever.
Water For People is adapting their approach to WASH to address the growing challenges of climate change. They’re working to ensure equitable, continuous, and safe access to water not only by expanding infrastructure, but also by protecting and managing the ecosystems and institutions that sustain it over time.
Shockwave’s funding will be used to enable them to meet their strategic commitments to mainstream climate resilience.
Activities include:
- Implementing risk-based climate adaptations in partner areas and working with government partners to integrate risk-based adaptations to influence a more permanent shift to prioritize climate resilience.
- Engaging with the wider climate resilience community to learn from and share efforts, within and beyond the sector.
- Developing sustainable finance mechanisms to increase funding for climate resilience work.
Why We Partner
Sustainability lies at the core of Water for People’s mission. They are at the forefront of integrating climate resilience across their organizational objectives and are an integral member of the global dialogue on this work.
Impact
Our support will help Water for People become not only a more climate resilient organization, but one that other organizations learn from and emulate. It will also enable them to unlock new sources of finance for climate resilient work. Both goals are critical for adapting to climate change at the pace and scale necessary to safeguard levels of service and prevent system collapse.
