CAWST, the Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology, is a nonprofit organisation that provides training and consulting to organizations that work directly with populations in developing countries who lack access to clean water and basic sanitation.

CAWST “walks beside” hundreds of organizations—government agencies, community groups, and local and international NGOs of all sizes—in 69 countries as they develop their capacities to deliver water and sanitation programs locally.

CAWST is a “non-profit engineering consultancy” that provides practitioners with subsidized training services on a sliding scale, and open-content education materials. CAWST aligns all activities toward its ultimate organizational goal: to increase the number of people with access to safe water and sanitation.
