<p>Rapid urbanization often creates pockets of poverty in cities, where thousands of families live in densely populated areas without adequate access to clean water and proper sanitation. This situation is a major risk factor for various environment-related diseases.</p><p>YPCII presents an innovative, community-based approach to address this issue. The Urban Clean Water Service program includes construction of community-scale water treatment plants, subsidized household connections, community-based public toilets, and simple wastewater management systems.</p><p>We collaborate with city governments, regional water utilities (PDAM), and the private sector to ensure the program integrates with existing systems, is cost-efficient, and can be replicated in other regions. Communities are positioned not only as beneficiaries, but as active partners in planning and managing services.</p><p>The success of this program is measured not only by the number of connections installed, but by how effectively it transforms community sanitation behavior positively and sustainably.</p>
