About the Water For People Committee
NEWWA supports Water For People, which is a not-for-profit organization that helps people in developing countries improve their quality of life by supporting the development of locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities, and health and hygiene education programs.
The committee’s mission is to develop, coordinate, and implement programs that will foster relations with water supply professionals outside the United States and to raise funds to support the efforts of Water For People. Water For People is an international nonprofit organization that supports locally sustainable drinking water resources and sanitation facilities in developing countries.
The committee runs fundraising events during NEWWA conferences and meetings and hosts social events. In 2025, the committee coordinated a unique hop water collaboration with Roundhead Brewing in Hyde Park, MA, and Water For People.
