Abstract

Safe Water Network has undertaken comprehensive efforts in Ghana, India and Kenya to establish a water kiosk service model that processes and sells affordable, purified water in partnership with local communities. A Village Water Committee or local entrepreneur
oversees the operations and uses revenues collected from water sales to cover operating expenses (e.g., electricity, operator salaries, chemicals, maintenance, and demand generation activities). After debt repayments (interest and principal) are made, surpluses are used to establish a reserve account and pay down additional capital expenditures. [authors abstract]
