On days it was unavailable, they collected water from the river or purchased it from a vendor, paying high prices for water in time and money. Families like Rehana’s find the small water and sanitation loans offered by Water.org ’s partners in India to be affordable, practical solutions to their fam ily’s water and sanitation needs. Rehana learned that she could make affordable payments to establish a water connection and was approved for a loan to construct a piped water connection from the municipal water line to her home.
