Waterlines
Waterlines sunset at the end of 2021 but before that for 35 years its mission was to provide adequate drinking water and sanitation to rural communities in developing countries. It did so by providing funding and technical expertise to implement projects. Those who worked with Waterlines in the US did so on a volunteer basis. In the last two years of 2020 and 2021 Waterlines intentionally discouraged any contributions because of the intention to go out of existence in December 2021.
