Mission: ASD addresses the need to support the 1.2 billion people who do not have access to water and the 3-5 million people dying of water related diseases per year. ASDs award-winning social entrepreneurial model provides innovative solutions to improve community health, alleviate poverty and create economic opportunity for the under-served through the creation of self-reliant community-led water service centers that can identify, plan, design, implement and maintain their own water technologies using environmentally and financially sustainable practices. Focusing on Women as Water Stewards is one of the key strategies to ensure programs are gender sensitive and include women in all aspects of the decision-making and in most cases with our programs, a majority are often led by women.
