The Project WET Foundation and a child's right have recently signed a formal partnership agreement that will implement Project WET in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Seattle-based nonprofit a child's right works with vulnerable children in impoverished urban areas by providing clean, safe drinking water to orphanages, schools, children's hospitals, street shelters and rescue homes.

Currently, a child's right is assuring reliably safe drinking water for more than 200,000 children--a number that is updated in real time on their website. In addition to their work in Nepal, the organization also has projects in Cambodia, China, Ethiopia, Vietnam, India and Thailand.

So far, a child's right has conducted two Project WET water, sanitation and hygiene education sessions in Nepal, and the trainers have reported a lot of excitement. We look forward to working with a child's right and to cooperating with them on the critical work of WASH education.
