About Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP)

WSUP is a not-for-profit company that helps transform cities to benefit the millions who lack access to water and sanitation. We were created in 2005 as a response to the urban explosion that has left many cities unable to provide basic services, such as access to a toilet or drinking water, to low-income communities.

We work in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, supported by an office in the UK. Since inception we have helped over 20 million people access better water and sanitation services.

For more information about WSUP’s vision and approach, see www.wsup.com.
