"Four months have passed [since receiving a filter] and I did not go to the hospital even a single time. Now my children are always happy and healthy. Money I used to spend on medication now I spend on education of the children."
- Fatima, recipient of filter from a CAWST client, Pakistan
Since 2001, CAWST has focused on the professional services needed to motivate local organizations to take action. Technology solutions are an important part of the picture. However, CAWST believes that education is the first step toward independent, local actions.
The following results are gathered and reported annually in CAWST's Annual Report and Annual General Meeting.
