Splash International

Sub-Saharan Africa: Our current focus is Project WISE (WASH in Schools for Everyone), a five-year children and staff, and strengthened menstrual health support. Strong government partnerships with the Addis Ababa Education Bureau, as well as the municipal agencies for health, finance, construction, and water and sewerage will help ensure long-term sustainability. In Ethiopia, we estimate this project will benefit over 700,000 children and staff. By population, Ethiopia is the second largest country in Africa, and the rapid growth of its capital, Addis Ababa, is outpacing the provision of water and sanitation services. In addition, Project WISE was expanded to a second Ethiopia city, Bahir Dar, with the goal to serve over 80,000 kids. By the end of 2023, Splash served over 570,000 kids in Ethiopia through our holistic WASH program, with 37,000 of them in Bahir Dar.

East and South East Asia: By the end of 2023, Splash had ensured clean water for some 214,000 children in China, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand. In 2018, Splash reached our ten-year goal of ensuring that every orphanage in China has safe water. This project served over 1,080 orphanages across 32 provinces and benefitted approximately 190,000 children and adults at China's social welfare institutions.

South Asia: Despite substantial progress in improving access to water, sanitation, and hygiene, South Asia's rapidly growing population continues to face inadequate WASH services. By the end of 2023, Splash had served over 330,000 children in Kathmandu, Nepal; Kolkata, India; and Dhaka, Bangladesh at schools.
