Project Timeline
A water project takes about 18 months to implement, complete and then report back on. We are committed to sustainable solutions, which require careful planning and problem-solving. Even before the physical construction of the water project, our partners need time to prepare, train and engage the community that's receiving it. Below is a general project timeline (please note this may be adjusted along the way if any project delays occur).

A water project report with GPS coordinates, photos and population of the exact community you helped.
You'll receive two progress updates along the way, and a completion report when the project is finished.
A project is complete when :
- Hygiene and sanitation programs are established and the community has undergone full training on best practices.
- Local water committees and maintenance teams are in place. They've been trained to own and manage their new water point.
- The physical water project has been constructed.
- Our partners have had several months to work with the community and their new functioning water solution.
- Our partners report back health and hygiene outcomes.
