for Safe Water: Each year, over 1.8 million children under the age of five die
from diarrhea, a leading cause of which is unsafe drinking water. DSW is an
entrepreneurial team tasked with scaling the Chlorine Dispenser System (CDS) –
a proven innovation for dramatically expanding access to water treatment at
extremely low cost.
DSW’s work is growing rapidly – we currently serve over 1 million people in
Kenya, our primary country of operations, and plan to reach 25 million in the
next 5 years. Our program has ambitious plans to expand in 2-3 countries in the
coming 2 years.
Our work is based on strong proof of Chlorine Dispenser impact – a randomized
controlled trial in Western Kenya demonstrated a six-fold increase in the
number of households treating their water with chlorine. Such a dramatic
expansion in safe water usage will prevent over 1.4 million cases of diarrhea
and 1,300 child deaths each year once we reach our Kenya target of 5 million
people served.
Deworm the World Initiative The Deworm the World Initiative (DtWi) actively
supports the scale-up of school-based deworming programs worldwide to improve
children’s health, education, and long-term development.
