Rwanda

By the end of 2025, Water For People (WFP) had helped 70% of people across six partner areas in Rwanda achieve intermediate or high levels of water service. In September 2025, WFP exited Kicukiro District after successfully reaching all its “Everyone” and “Forever” milestones.

Other milestones reached include:

  • Gicumbi – Forever: Sustainable Water
  • Karongi – Everyone: Water in Communities; Forever: Sustainable Water and Sanitation
  • Rulindo – Forever: Sustainable Water

These milestones show measurable progress in expanding safe, reliable, and sustainable water services across Rwanda.

At the national level, this partnership has driven system-wide change, influencing Rwanda’s District Wide Approach now replicated nationwide, and advancing critical sector reforms including customer management systems integrated with mobile money and reductions in non-revenue water.
