A diverse country, Bolivia is home to almost 9 million people who live in three distinct regions: the high Altiplano, the fertile valleys, and the tropical lowlands. In Bolivia, Water For People works in the regions of Cuchumuela, Tiraque, San Pedro, Arani, San Benito, Villa Rivero, and peri-urban Cochabamba.

In rural areas, only 68% of people have access to a safe and reliable water supply.

In the next year, Cuchumuela is slated to reach full coverage for access to water. The FLOW map will reflect the incredible shift as the data is verified. Monitoring will show that for 3,000 Bolivians, many of whom lay claim to hard lives on the sides of steep, remote mountainsides, water can flow to even the most hard-to-reach communities.

This country of proud Mayan heritage marries modern buildings and practices with ancient, time-honored ways. Guatemala still struggles to recover from a 36-year civil war that just ended in 1996 and displaced a million people.

Water For People concentrates almost all its efforts in the department of Quiché, northwest of Guatemala City. In addition, we work in the regions of San Antonio Ilotenango, San Bartolomé Jocotenango, San Pedro Jocopilas, and San Andres Sajcabajá.

Water and sanitation problems are significant in Guatemala. Old water systems function only intermittently, and people must often obtain expensive water from tanker trucks or from unprotected sources.

Daunting challenges have spurred our work on in Honduras, where one-fifth of the rural population has no access to safe drinking water and almost half have no proper sanitation facilities. Honduras is the poorest and least developed country in Central America.

Water For People works in the municipalities of Chinda, San Antonio de Cortes, Ilama and El Negrito. Four years ago, none of the local water systems in Chinda met government standards for quality or quantity, and only 37 percent of residents had access to proper sanitation.

Despite insufficient water and sanitation infrastructure, torrential rains that often engulf roads and access routes, earthquakes, political instability, and Hurricane Mitch's devastation in 1998, 14 communities with about 5,000 people in Chinda are on track to achieve full coverage of safe water access within the year.

These data points, as well as data for the other regions in Honduras mapped within FLOW, will be reflected on the map as they are verified.

The need for safe water and sanitation are extremely critical in one of the most densely populated areas of the world: West Bengal, India. As our FLOW map shows, Water For People is monitoring the viability of water and sanitation points in West Bengal, situated between the Himalayas and the Bay of Bengal.

Water For People, working with 20 government and local partners on the ground in six districts, supports arsenic mitigation and locally sustainable drinking water, sanitation and hygiene interventions. The West Bengal districts include South 24 Parganas, North 24 Parganas, Nadia, East Medinipur, Murshidabad and Purulia.

India has one of the world's fastest growing economies and safe water and proper sanitation go hand in hand with economic prosperity.

Landlocked Malawi is among the world's poorest countries. Of its 11 million Africans, only 16 percent live in urban areas, mainly in the cities of Lilongwe, Blantyre and a handful of smaller towns.

Water For People focuses on the regions of Blantyre, Chikhwawa, and Rumphi. Water-related diseases, including cholera and typhoid, are woefully common; a problem exacerbated by the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS which has affected 15 percent of the rural population and 30 percent of those in urban areas. About 62 percent of the rural population has access to improved water; about 42 percent have improved sanitation.

Almost half of the population is under 15 years old and many of these are orphans. The life expectancy in Malawi is only 41.

Working in alliance with nonprofit El Porvenir, Water For People works to secure water and sanitation coverage for impoverished people in the northern department of Jinotega, Nicaragua. The third poorest country in the western hemisphere after Haiti and Guatemala, Nicaragua boasts Central America's largest freshwater lakes and river systems—but safe drinking water is all too scarce.

53% of rural Nicaraguans lack access to clean drinking water. 63 percent of the rural population has access to improved drinking water sources and less than 40 percent of the rural population has access to improved sanitation.

Like far too many developing world countries, water-related diseases are a leading cause of death for children under five in Nicaragua. And water poverty keeps children from attending school—the average educational level in rural Nicaragua is 3.6 years of schooling.

The awe-inspiring Andes, a coastal desert, stunning volcanoes, and the lush Amazon rainforest with all its dazzling diversity. Peru is renowned for its beautiful, wild landscape and ancient traditions that live on today.

But Peru is also known for its shifting and often harsh social and economic landscape. As these factors rippled across Peru, its people were plunged deeper into poverty and forced to struggle on with unsafe water and inadequate sanitation.

For Peru, which is a new country program for Water For People, FLOW is helping us to evaluate the current "baseline" status in rural municipalities including Cascas, Majes and Tumbaden. In Tumbaden, Water For People recently partnered with Soluciones Practicas to rehabilitate and expand a community-school water system, marking this its first field project in the country.

The densest country in Africa, Rwanda has one of the fastest growing economies in Africa and boasts more female leaders than any country in the world. Knowing its economic recovery depends on clean water and sanitation, Rwanda leaders have pledged to make sustaining their environment a national priority to reverse the degradation of its land, soil, water and forests.

Water For People works in the regions of Rulindo and Kicukiro. About 65 percent of the population in densely populated Rwanda has access to drinking water. However, only 38 percent throughout the country have access to latrines that meet adequate hygienic conditions.

Watch this map during the next few years to see the impact of the Rulindo Challenge, an initiative to provide 100% water supply coverage for the 219 square-mile Rulindo district by the end of 2014.
