The Millennium Water Alliance is the only organization in the world dedicated solely to meeting the Millennium Development Goal related to water set by world leaders in 2000 – and we’re the only organization that has the potential to actually achieve those goals. The objective is clear, and we are uniquely positioned to reach it because of our:
- Permanent Alliance of 13 water-focused NGOs
- Global Reach
- Focus on sharing the best techniques and strategies across all partners
- Ability to make the case for very large donations to the water sector
- A-WASH: Ambassador’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Schools Initiative
- Ethiopia: Millennium Water Program
- Kenya: Millennium Water Program
- Central America – Schools Water, Sanitation and Hygiene plus Community Impact (SWASH+)
- 2009 Presentation of MWA Accomplishments
Never in the history of global development work have all the organizations in one sector come together in such a focused way to reach a specific goal. Our true value-add is that we’re working together.
The MWA is a unique permanent alliance of international NGOs with experience in water supply, hygiene education and promotion of sanitation. We facilitate cooperation with international and local NGOs and other stakeholders in the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector to build consensus on appropriate WASH policies and effective solutions.
