Abstract

In 2006 PATH launched the Safe Water Project (SWP) to investigate the potential for market-based  approaches to providing clean water for household use with the ultimate goal of reducing the incidence of waterborne disease. While governments and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) have been providing household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS) systems in low-resource areas for many years, the SWP is working to identify solutions to the continuing
problems of sustainability and scale-up. We do this by identifying commercial enterprises that can produce, distribute, sell, and maintain these products for
low-income populations. [authors abstract]
