World Vision Water 2018 Results
We are pleased to share the 2018 fiscal year results of World Vision’s global water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) program. It’s been a year of tremendous impact, reaching 4 million people with clean water, 2.8 million with sanitation, and 5 million with hygiene. We continue to have an industry leading effort that is reaching one new person with clean water every 10 seconds!
We remain committed to reaching everyone, everywhere we work with clean water by 2030—an ambitious but achievable goal that means reaching 50 million people between 2015 and 2030. As an interim goal—and to make sure we remain on track—we’ve committed to reach 20 million people between 2015 and 2020. This report demonstrates that we are on track to fulfill that commitment, having reached 12.7 million people with clean water in the first three years of this five-year commitment. For perspective, this is 200,000 more people than we reached in the entire For Every Child campaign.
The results of other key indicators include: Building 53,830 water points, 499,244 sanitation facilities, and 494,067 hand-washing facilities; 414,977 households equipped with water treatment techniques; 6,735 water committees formed; 3,658 communities certified as Open Defecation Free; 13,108 faith leaders trained in WASH behavior change; more than half a million children provided a clean drinking water source, latrine, and hand-washing station at school; and, $145.6 million spent. You can access the full report here.
Going forward, we will continue to focus on providing effective WASH in homes, schools, and health clinics using an integrated approach that empowers local stakeholders to adopt and sustain these life-transforming behaviors and to ensure that water continues to flow.
We thank you for being part of this journey with us and for being part of this historic effort to end the global water and sanitation crisis within our lifetimes.
