This proposal cites a lack of access to safe water and basic sanitation, presence of water-related illness, and time spent collecting and transporting water as major challenges. The team recommends a Water Market, creating an efficient localized water distribution network to bridge the last mile. Using a tiered network of buyers and sellers, clean water can reach the end consumer by enabling the commercialization of water distribution in local communities.
