The Kohler Trust for Clean Water (KTCW) selected Global Water Challenge to identify and manage a high impact project portfolio that mobilizes clean water access for high need “last mile” communities across the US.

With KTCW's support, GWC is strengthening access to water and wastewater services for high-need US communities through training, technical assistance, infrastructure upgrades, regionalization support and more.

IMPACT

In the program’s first year, GWC partnered with the Water Finance Exchange (WFX) and the Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP) to deliver last-mile water access to 94,000+ people across 81+ vulnerable communities in Texas, Alabama and New Mexico.

By 2027,  GWC plans to reach another 400,000+ people across 37 communities in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia through partnerships with WFX, Communities Unlimited and Dig Deep.

This video showcases the impact that KTCW’s support helped make possible through the work of WFX and the South Texas Water Authority (STWA).
