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.
Our Work
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.
Our Values
NEWAH is committed to full transparency and good practice standards in its work including financial transparency.
NEWAH takes ownership for its actions and adheres to the highest possible standards of accountability.
NEWAH positively discriminates those living in poverty and enables them to improve their quality of life through increased access to WASH services and various income-generating activities.
NEWAH ensures to make GESI a key priority across all its policy and implementation work. The approach aims to release women and the excluded groups from existing social, cultural and institutional barriers so that they can realize their potentials and enjoy the benefits of development.
NEWAH emphasizes the active participation of local communities and WASH institutions in the planning, construction, management, and operation and maintenance of water supply and sanitation systems to ensure ownership, effective use and sustainability of the systems.
NEWAH emphasizes making WASH interventions sustainable by seeking community participation at every stage of the project cycle, building their capacity to take ownership of their development and providing them opportunities for socio-economic empowerment.
