East Meets West, a program of Thrive Networks

Thrive Networks envisions a world where all people have access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. We envision water companies, governments, and rural communities working together to ensure every man, woman and child has access to potable water and the knowledge and facilities to keep his or her home and community clean and hygienic.Thrive Networks empowers socially and economically excluded families in rural Southeast Asia to improve the health of their children and communities through inclusive and sustainable water and sanitation programs. Our solution: We've pioneered and refined the output-based aid (OBA) or "pay for success" approach in sanitation and health (WASH) programs. We have reached over one million individuals from homes belonging to the poorest 40% of the population in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. With your help, we can continue to reach more.
