Clean Water Science Network
Our mission is to improve the health and quality of life of developing communities through educational outreach, fundamental scientific studies, and applied research projects focused on water and sanitation issues.
Millions of people around the globe lack a safe and reliable supply of drinking water
Since challenges faced by developing communities are best understood by those who live them daily, we strongly believe that the best way to encourage change is to build capacity at a local level. Many remarkable organizations exist to facilitate development projects, but few educational opportunities focused on the fundamentals of water and sanitation sciences are available to those with limited experience. We aim to fill this gap via programs targeted to empower the community members with the tools to improve their quality of life.
