In 2024, we have directly impacted* over 154,000 lives, and benefited over 2.8 million people in the catchment* areas of our healthcare facility WASH improvement projects.
*The direct impact of community water projects refers to the immediate benefits, such as improved access to clean water and sanitation for the population directly served. The catchment population impact reflects broader, indirect effects on the health and well-being of beneficiary populations served by healthcare facilities (HCFs), including reduced disease prevalence, increased access to water and sanitation improvements in healthcare facilities, and overall improved public health outcomes.
Water & Health
Since 2002, WEFTA has been connecting donors, engineers, and communities in Latin America and Africa, all with the common goal of ensuring access to clean drinking water for everyone.
Sanitation & Environment
WEFTA engineers help facilitate community dialog leading to solutions for inadequate sewage treatment, and its environmental impacts.
Development & Sustainability
WEFTA volunteers work with the communities we partner with to develop the local skills needed to maintain and manage the water and wastewater systems constructed.
