Everyone Forever Approach
We spend years, not days, in communities. We work until Everyone – every household, health clinic, and school – has access to safe and reliable water, sanitation, and hygiene services.
Forever means our work goes beyond installing infrastructure. We also build local capacity, foster community ownership, and partner with governments to maintain these essential services for generations to come.
For over a decade, the Everyone Forever model has driven Water For People's work as a mantra, strategy, and framework.
