The iSWEET Training Kit is a series of ten modules developed by distilling knowledge from over a decade-long Field Implementation experience to set up community or social entrepreneur owned water treatment facility with local government approvals. These SWEs are decentralized water treatment plants that provide 24×7, affordable safe drinking water. These are called by various names such as Water ATMs, Water Vends, Community Water Treatment Plants, Safe Water Stations, Water Kiosks, Water Store, etc. This iSWEET is a structured and comprehensive step by step approach to assist Governments, ULBs, Water Service Providers, Development Partners, Social Entrepreneurs, and NGOs to harness the entrepreneurial spirit and create a cadre of social entrepreneurs that locally own and sustainably operate their safe drinking water source.
We wish that the practitioners apply these tools and see the same transformations that we have experienced through this power of enterprise and pave way for scale up to improve public health.
