PROVIDING WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE SERVICES SINCE 1992
We are a Nepal based non-governmental organization established with a vision of improving the quality of life of all Nepali people through safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. Since establishment in 1992, we have stood firmly on our commitment of developing and strengthening WASH services in both rural and municipal areas of the country. And we won’t stop until everyone in the country, irrespective of gender, class, ethnicity or belief, is able to access their right to WASH.
What We Do
While our primary area of engagement has remained delivering integrated WASH services in underserved communities, emphasis has also been placed towards supporting people’s livelihood, building stakeholder’s capacity, and influencing sectorial policies through research and advocacy.
Guiding Principles
The latest study of UNICEF in Nepal revealed that 81% of Nepal's population has no access to safely managed drinking water.
NEWAH envisions a prosperous and healthy Nepal where this number is 0%.
Every citizen should be able to realize their right to improved and safe drinking water, sanitation, hygiene and health.

Walking Towards a Healthy 2025 Together
This is a message to everyone out there, who is desperately trying to find a way to start solving one of the most tragic problems of our time, which affects more than 771 Million people in their daily life.
Not having access to safe water is a deprivation that threatens life, destroys opportunity and undermines human dignity. The only way to change that is not necessarily by donating your money.
We want to empower you. All you need is a good heart and a certain degree of creativity.
