World Water Relief is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing safe, filtered water and comprehensive water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) education to students and communities in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. With a grassroots approach and a commitment of up to 10 years of continuing WASH education, they aim to create healthier and happier communities by improving sanitation and hygiene habits through their WASH in schools program.
By establishing water clubs at every school and conducting regular educational sessions, World Water Relief teaches proper WASH practices and addresses topics such as cholera, intestinal round worms, and waterborne parasites. Their efforts not only save lives but also have a significant economic impact, with every $1 invested in clean water and hygiene education yielding a return of $3-34 per person and reducing the number of school days lost due to water-related illnesses. Focusing on marginalized areas often overlooked by governments, World Water Relief recognizes the vulnerability of children to the impacts of poor sanitation, water, and hygiene, and strives to ensure they have a healthy environment to thrive and receive a proper education.
