The Foundation’s Safe Water initiative awarded $36.3 million in grants in 2023, representing the largest financial commitment to a single program area within the fiscal year. More than two billion people still lack access to safely managed drinking water worldwide. This presents a significant setback in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1: universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030.

The Safe Water initiative invests in professional, sustainable and affordable solutions for safe water services by working with communities, civil society, donors, local and national governments and private sector partners in Ethiopia, Ghana and Uganda. The initiative invests in technology, capacity building, financing solutions and regulatory frameworks to sustain quality water services for one million people in low-income households, schools and healthcare facilities in sub-Saharan Africa by 2025.

Following is an overview of the board-approved grants and Program-Related Investments (PRIs) awarded in the fourth quarter of 2023:
