  Today I came across Water Advocates, a US-based nonprofit organization dedicated solely to increasing American support for worldwide access to safe, affordable and sustainable supplies of drinking water and adequate sanitation.  The organization is based in Washington, DC, and their main purpose is to advocate for projects rather than to implement them directly. Water Advocates works with all sectors of American society to increase public and private-citizen funding for effective water, sanitation and hygiene projects and initiatives internationally. They particularly advocate for projects that are characterized by strong community involvement.  If you are interested in receiving regular updates and information on Water Advocates you can sign up for their eNewsletter at the link below.
