In Rwanda, 53% of the rural population have access to basic water services and 70% have access to basic sanitation. In urban settings, 82% of the population have access to basic or safely managed water services and 52% have access to basic sanitation services. Water For People is working to increase this access by promoting piped water systems throughout the three districts where we are implementing the Everyone Forever model. Government partners co-invest resources alongside us, which helps create local ownership and sustainability of these systems which is further maintained through trainings for both district staff and water system operators to manage and maintain the infrastructure. Sanitation work is approached as market-based in Rwanda which means we invest in local businesses to help solve sanitation problems. This includes training and supporting pit emptying technologies and entrepreneurs, as well as helping start treatment plants that turn the collected waste into reusable products, such as fertilizer. Local community hygiene and sanitation clubs that promote and finance safe sanitation practices throughout villages also receive support from Water For People. We help construct better water and sanitation facilities in schools, including separate toilet blocks for girls and boys, menstrual hygiene resources for girls and menstrual hygiene education for girls and boys. Student-led hygiene committees promote safe water, sanitation, and hygiene practices such as handwashing and keeping toilet blocks clean. Many schools use ecological toilet blocks that produce compost that is reused on school gardens or local farms.
