The Safe Water Project enables rural communities to capacity build by increasing the ability of the community to continue to develop without external support. Project leaders receive business training from Social Venture 101 in which they learn business skills and practices to operate a sustainable venture. Members of the community are also trained to become community health agents (CHA's). CHA's undergo sales training and sell biosand filters to members of the community by teaching the benefits of safe water. Once a community has a reliable source of safe water which they themselves can maintain and independently manage, that community can develop in other ways which go beyond water. Water is the first step. Capacity building is a long term process in which stakeholders of the project participate and contribute to shape their own development.
