  2. Providing equitable community access to safe water, improved sanitation, and hygiene.
  3. Supporting programs that enhance communities’ awareness of the benefits of safe water, sanitation, and hygiene.
  4. Supporting career-minded professionals’ studies related to water and sanitation.
  5. Creating tools and resources that facilitate, measure, and enhance high-quality water and sanitation projects worldwide.
