Splash is at the forefront of a growing movement to ensure that children in urban poverty have the resources they need to thrive and realize their full potential. We design and implement child-focused water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH), and menstrual health solutions with governments in some of the world’s biggest cities. And then we get out of the way: our goal is to demonstrate that our model works, build local capacity, and transition management to local organizations and governments. Founded in 2007, Splash has worked in eight countries and served more than one million kids worldwide.

Through Project WISE (WASH in Schools for Everyone), we aim to reach 100% of government schools in select major growth cities. Project WISE will bring improved water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure; behavior change programs for kids and adults; and strengthened menstrual health services for girls aged 10 and above. Working in kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools, this project will reach large concentrations of underserved young people, typically living in the poorest urban communities. Our goal is to demonstrate a scalable, durable, and cost-efficient WASH-in-Schools model that can be effectively replicated beyond the initial two target cities and countries.

In the next five years, we will bring our model to new countries and cities in East Africa, West Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. We aim to reach three million children by 2030, proving that sustainable and city-wide school WASH coverage is possible, cost effective, durable, impactful, and scalable across diverse settings. By entering with a clear exit plan for Splash and leveraging
the talents, expertise and strengths of local organizations and governments, we will ensure local autonomy and make the community partners the champions of their own story.
