To address this issue head-on, the <strong>Water Credit Initiative<\/strong>\u00ae loan programme was launched. Gary White, a social entrepreneur, &amp; Matt Damon, have invested US$ 2.2 million in Water Credit programmes through their business Water.org.&nbsp;In underdeveloped nations, water credit uses microfinance concepts to help with water &amp; sanitation. Water-Credit allows people to handle their own water &amp; sanitation requirements rather than relying on government finances &amp; charity by providing small loans to individuals &amp; communities that have no access to credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the global water crisis, with millions of people affected around the world. The approach to the water credit initiative is market-driven &amp; people-driven since it has improved the lives of over 38 million people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/upsc-civil-services\/?ref=ContTM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Mock Test Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Credit_Initiative\"><\/span><strong>Water Credit Initiative<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Water Credit Initiative is a new place at the crossroads of water, sanitation, and microfinance that aims to help those in developing countries who are in need of safe water &amp; sanitation. The number of people who want water projects vastly outnumbers the amount of money available. Communities who need it are obliged to enter the &#8220;grant lottery&#8221; &amp; hope that someone will come to their help at some point. Meanwhile, they are becoming ill and dying as a result of the contaminated water they are drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they lack the upfront funds to make the necessary investments, many low-income organisations have been unable to obtain water connections or construct toilets. Since borrowing for water &amp; sanitation renovations has historically been regarded too hazardous &amp; not viewed as an income producer, neither banks nor MFIs have responded to this market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the <strong>Water Credit Initiative<\/strong> was established, with the goal of speeding up natural market processes. This entails providing financing for &#8220;smart subsidies&#8221; to help create a market for water &amp; sanitation microfinance. &nbsp;Water Credit models take advantage of local resources and speed up natural market processes, allowing them to serve a larger number of people in a shorter amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water Credit must eventually engage international capital markets to contribute with funding for water supply &amp; sanitation projects in order for the model to be viable. This form of finance will be possible if philanthropic-driven &#8220;smart subsidies&#8221; lead the way, according to Water Partners. In countries such as India, Kenya, Bangladesh, Honduras, &amp; Uganda, the use of &#8220;smart subsidies&#8221; for Water Credit projects has already sparked interest from commercial financing institutions, &amp; in some cases, direct commercial loans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water Credit had disbursed approximately $1.6 million in loans to end borrowers as of 2009, with nearly $750,000 coming from commercial financing sources. Water Partners continues to enhance &amp; expand its <strong>Water Credit Initiative<\/strong> in order to advance the market for water &amp; sanitation microfinance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Water_Credit_Initiative_Provide\"><\/span><strong>What Does <\/strong><strong>Water Credit Initiative<\/strong><strong> Provide?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water Credit connects together commercial banks, microfinance institutions (MFIs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), governments, water authorities, financial intermediaries, and other Watson service providers to improve access to safe water and sanitation for economically active poor families.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water Credit focuses on personal &amp; household microloans, which are often offered via MFI self-help group models &amp; target a pricing range that is suited for clients at the bottom of the economic pyramid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Water_Credit_Initiative_Works\"><\/span><strong>How <\/strong><strong>Water Credit Initiative<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Works<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water credit, as we&#8217;ve seen, is a powerful solution that was the first to use microfinance methods in the water &amp; sanitation sector. Small loans &amp; expert resources are made available through Water credit to those who need them to make household water &amp; sanitation solutions a possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The first step is to locate a region in need of water &amp; sanitation that is also ready for a microfinance solution.<\/li><li>The next phase in this process is to engage with selected institutions to provide reasonable financing for water &amp; sanitation to low-income homes. Water &amp; sanitation loans are added to the portfolios of these microfinance partners.<\/li><li>These small, reasonable loans are used by those in need to install a tap or toilet in their houses and to leverage local resources to complete the work.<\/li><li>Every loan that is returned can be given to another family in need of clean water or sanitation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Credit_MFI_partners\"><\/span><strong>Water Credit MFI partners<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water Credit MFI partners include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>BISWA &#8211; Bharat Integrated Social Welfare Agency &#8211; Orissa State&nbsp;<\/li><li>BASIX \u2013 Hyderabad<\/li><li>ESAF &#8211; Evangelical Social Action Forum &nbsp;&#8211; Kerala<\/li><li>GUARDIAN &#8211; Gramalaya Urban and Rural Development Initiatives and Network \u2013 Tamilnadu<\/li><li>Hand in Hand &#8211; Tamil Nadu.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NGO_Partners_Of_Water_Credit\"><\/span><strong>NGO Partners Of Water Credit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>GRAMALAYA &#8211; &nbsp;Tiruchirapalli, Tamilnadu&nbsp;<\/li><li>MSSS &#8211; Mythri Sarva Seva Samithi &#8211; &nbsp;Bangalore, Karnataka<\/li><li>ODP &#8211; Organization for the Development of People \u2013 Mysore, Karnataka State<\/li><li>SIDUR &#8211; Society for Integrated Development in Urban and Rural \u2013 Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Future_Of_Water_Credit_Initiative\"><\/span><strong>Future Of <\/strong><strong>Water Credit Initiative<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water Partners does not want to be the world&#8217;s water bank.
