Mission Statement

The goal of Water Engineers for the Americas (WEFTA) is to improve the quality of life and
health of people living in developing countries in Central and South America by promoting
community based self-help projects. WEFTA provides technical and administrative support to
needy communities for the construction of drinking water and wastewater systems by working
with local non-profit organizations. By assisting these communities in managing their water
resources, WEFTA helps improve community access to safe drinking water, makes more clean
water available, reduces waterborne diseases, improves hygiene and protects the environment.
