Interesting private sector solution, distributed technology

I recently started getting Water 21, I think because of the IWA Project Innovation Award that we recently received for our work in Cambodia. More on that soon.

There was a really interesting article in this past issue on a women's cooperative in Tamil Nadu that is using a really innovative private-sector approach to safe water: each of 150 women provided $150 in capital to start the business, which was also supported by a small grant from a government ministry and technical assistance from a local college.

Read another article about the project here.
