Local Partners

Local partnerships create lasting solutions

Our in-country partners are the key to our work. They are financial institutions operating in the communities we serve. They understand the unique challenges and opportunities in their communities, helping to bring access to small, affordable loans for safe water and sanitation to people living in poverty through our WaterCredit solution.

Thanks to their real-time problem solving and long-term understanding of local market needs, our partners help us reach more people, faster.

Our partners help scale our impact

Our partners in the countries where we work are making loans for safe water and sanitation possible for people in need in their own communities.

Our partners have disbursed 15.2 million loans for $5.7 billion, reaching more than 70 million people in need of safe water or sanitation.

Partnering in Peru to lend for change

MiBanco is one of the largest microfinance institutions in Peru that is now offering water and sanitation loans across their entire branch network. We provided extensive technical assistance to design and develop a water and sanitation loan program.

To date, MiBanco has disbursed more than 892,000 loans, reaching more than 3.3 million people with much needed access to water and sanitation. 

The power of partnership

We provide our partners with technical assistance, connections, and small grants, where needed, so they can provide small, affordable loans to people in need of water and sanitation solutions.

We understand that working with Water.org is a reflection of your organization's values and commitment to making a difference in your community. Our team will work with you to create a program that supports the goals of your business.
