We measure the effectiveness of our programs and the long-term positive impact they have on communities and individuals. For example, rather than simply reporting the number of wells drilled, we monitor each new well for:

• proper installation and fencing
• the number of households committed to proper hygiene
• the maintenance and repair program in place for the well
• the number of households and people benefiting from the well

The feedback from this measurement approach allows us to help communities continuously improve the effectiveness and sustainability of their programs.
