Clean water organisations

Clean water organisations


Millennium development goal has come and gone. More than 600 million people still lack access to safe clean water, more than a billion lack adequate sanitation. Perhaps SDG 6, will help most of the people yet to have access to clean water and sanitation.
Here is a list of some amazing organisations, which include NGOs, academic institutions, government, individuals all working in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
This list is ordered in alphabetic order. Feel free to suggest an organisation for inclusion on this list, if the organisation is working in WASH.
