About SWIFT

By March 2016, the SWIFT Consortium had reached almost 850,000 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya with safe water or sanitation, and hygiene promotion activities - in some cases all three. It will continue to work with communities, local authorities, health bodies, utilities and radio stations until March 2018 to build capacity and ensure interventions are sustainable. The SWIFT Consortium is funded with UK aid from the British people under a ‘Payment by Results’ contract.
