Overview

This committee operates under the policies and procedures established by the National Water for People organization, which is housed at AWWA in Denver. Water for People was founded in 1991 by AWWA to help developing countries improve the quality of life by supporting sustainable drinking water, sanitation and hygiene projects. Water for People provides funding and technical assistance using an extensive network of volunteers, donors and partner organizations. With the commitment to help people help themselves, Water for People has supported over 500 projects in 40 countries worldwide.

In 2008 Florida’s Water Associations – FSAWWA, FWEA, FRWA and FW&PCOA (FWA) raised $80,699 for Water for People. Of this amount, 55% was raised by the FSAWWA Regions during their numerous fundraisers and 30% was raised by FWEA during its Stockholm Junior Water Prize and Water for People fundraiser. FWA was formed in 2006.

We thank everyone who worked hard to support Water for People.
