My buddy Saul Garlick, who heads the Student Movement for Real Change wrote an article for Policy Innovations. He writes about the "15.6 km freshwater line and initiating sanitation projects... led by the Kayafungo Women Water Project group... [for] 36,000 more people in Kayafungo." Perhaps the most interesting part of the article is this statistic:
Access to clean water is proven to increase gross domestic product in a developing nation by as much as 3.4 percent per year. Moreover, returns on investment can reach $3–34 for the community per $1 invested in the production of water, according to the World Health Organization.
