Overview
In 2017, Gravity Water launched the Vietnam Initiative to expand its water relief efforts to communities in Vietnam. Gravity Water worked with local companies and communities to create an impact that could be managed, maintained, and sustained by the local communities throughout the future. With Vietnam receiving a large amount of rainfall each year, and with rainwater harvesting being a common cultural practice for communities throughout Vietnam, Gravity Water had a natural and welcomed approach to providing clean drinking water to schools in need.
Vietnam Program Development
Gravity Water is currently in Phase III of the Organization's five-stage development strategy in Vietnam. Currently, Gravity Water is in the process of launching Gravity Water Vietnam, a Vietnamese-registered and operated NGO that will be taking over Gravity Water's projects and growth within the country throughout the future. Over the next year, Gravity Water will be focusing on developing strategic partnerships with commune- to district-level educational departments, locally-operating NGOs, and the private market sector. Additionally, Gravity Water will be implementing the organization's Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Program to collect data on key indicators, such as changes in gastrointestinal illness rates, school attendance, and school- to district-level educational outcomes.
