About WaterCredit
Rashana and Maizabeen of Vinayakngar in Hyderabad, India.
The WaterCredit Initiative represents the creation of a new space at the intersection of water and sanitation and microfinance. By catalyzing small loans to individuals and communities in developing countries who do not have access to traditional credit markets, WaterCredit empowers people to immediately address their own water needs. As loans are repaid, they can be redeployed to additional people in need of safe water.
The Need
Current financing methods to address the world water crisis are not sufficient. Grants alone will never reach the nearly one billion people in need of safe drinking water. People often are forced to wait years for a grant that may never come. Meanwhile, they’re getting sick and dying from the unsafe water they’re drinking – not to mention the hours they are spending every day collecting it.
