WASH Organizations with Independent Evaluations

Below is a list of organizations with independent evaluations (out of nearly 600 WASH organizations we have identified). We understand this list is not complete or comprehensive. Rather it is a list of evaluations that we assembled using the tools that a regular donor would have, such as web searches or word of mouth.
