【What is the JWF Fund?】
- The JWF Fund was founded in 2005 and solely operated by the Japan Water Forum (JWF), which aims to support selected grass-roots organizations in developing countries, which have been addressing water-related issues.
- Every year, the JWF publicly seeks projects to support. Those adopted are eligible to receive the funding of up to US$1,500 each. Our assessment focuses on the consistency of project solutions, reliance on locally available materials, personnel, technology, and facility maintenance structure.
- The JWF Fund is based on membership fees of the JWF members and donations from general contributors.
