Clinics, churches, schools, orphanages, community centers, hospitals in areas with available but contaminated water

Train and equip via Clean Water U (a five-day simulation school), with support from LWW's Fulfillment Center through which system/educational materials are available

Train the trainer: Every effort is made to ensure that operating partners (local, in-country partners) lead health, hygiene & spiritual education and construct the clean water system, and that initiating partners (typically U.S.-based partners) teach and supervise. A relationship for a minimum of three years is established, involving four or more trips.

Curriculum structure: modular format - trainers pick from a menu of choices those that best meet their particular educational requirements

A modular approach for these community-sized systems provides a configurable solution to meet the specific needs of a partner.
