Mission

Practica Foundation is a non-profit consultancy organization with the mission to strengthening the skills and tools in low and middle-income countries in the areas of rural water supply, irrigation, groundwater development, and sanitation. We develop and select affordable technologies with a high potential to improve livelihoods and make sure that these technologies are made available locally.

We work with international and local public and private organizations and implement technical innovations in their programs. We support local enterprises by strengthening their technical and business skills and link them to suppliers, customers and supporting organizations.

We work in rural water supply, groundwater develoment, irrigation and sanitation.

To ensure continued innovation in the sector, we invest in applied research and product development. In addition, PRACTICA acts as a clearing house, advocate and source of practical knowledge on promising new affordable technologies in the water and sanitation sector.

The values of PRACTICA are focusing on the poor, using proven solutions and innovating only when needed, adapting to the local context and engagement of the local private sector.
