EVERYONE • FOREVER

2. Water For People is a global nonprofit
working across nine countries in Latin
America, Asia, and Africa to address the
global water crisis and equip
communities with lasting access to
clean water and sanitation services –
for Everyone, Forever. And when we say
forever, we mean forever.
INTRODUCTION

3.  Everyone Forever means water and sanitation that lasts – for
every family, clinic, and school. It sounds simple, but it’s
actually a big shift in the status quo. In most water and
sanitation work, the focus is on short-term wins – building a
few wells or toilets without considering how they will keep
serving people long into the future.
 We used to operate that way, until we realized it wasn’t
working. When pumps and toilets broke, no one could fix
them. This left communities back where they started. So in
2011 we conceptualized the Everyone Forever model. It
means what it says – everyone has water that lasts forever.
THIS WHAT EVERYONE FOREVER MEANS

7. STRATEGY
OUR STRATEGIC FOUNDATION:
Sustainable Development Goal 6
In 2015, members of the United Nations adopted a plan
of action to help create a better world. At the center of
this plan are 17 Sustainable Development Goals, all
dedicated to forming a shared blueprint for peace and
prosperity for people and the planet.
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 is to "ensure
availability and sustainable management of water and
sanitation for all." In other words, water and sanitation
for Everyone Forever.
Water For People's strategy is rooted in SDG 6, with an
audacious plan to make this goal a reality for all.

8.  FULL COVERAGE:
This means reliable and lasting water and sanitation services for every family, clinic, and school in a district –
even the most vulnerable, marginalized, and hardest-to-reach.
 FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY:
Water For People thinks about the long term from the beginning. We ensure districts can be independent from
ongoing foreign aid and have reliable access to water and sanitation for generations.
 CAPACITY-BUILDING & TRAINING:
Water For People ensures that when something breaks, someone has the capacity to fix it. We train
governments and water committees on topics like tariff collection, maintenance, and water resources management.
 COFINANCE:
Local governments and communities invest resources alongside Water For People. Everyone pays, so
everyone has ownership of water services.
 MONITORING & EVALUATION:
Water For People monitors service levels and sustainability annually, while training local partners to eventually
do this themselves. This builds capacity for data-driven decision-making.
THIS IS HOW WATER FOR PEOPLE IS DIFFERENT
