In India, sanitation efforts have failed miserably and everyone is trying to change behaviour at the beneficiary level. PWX is trying to change institutional behaviour change in the funding and implementing communities - analogous challenges. Its an important question: can the sector cause the impact without changing internally first?

PWX addresses the challenge of scale!
By dividing up the work and increasing the number of expert resources at very low cost,
PWX can manage thousands of small-scale projects for the long-term: from funding to impact.
PWX helps competitors become collaborators; as they work together, learn, and share, we create the impact we desire.
Field tools like SMS and mobile phones combine with PWX MetriX and PWX AnalytiX - the first set of business intelligence tools in WASH -
enable effortless tracking of projects, portfolios, and impact.
