The National Network on Household Water Treatment
and Safe Storage (HWTS) was established in November
2007 to serve as a hub for organizations and experts
in advocating HWTS. The HWTS Network's mission is:
to contribute to a significant reduction in
waterborne diseases especially among vulnerable
population by promoting household water treatment
and safe storage as a key component of water,
sanitation and hygiene programs.
PCWS is a member of the HWTS Network Steering
Committee, along with other multi-sectoral members,
with the Department of Health having a permanent
seat.
