Lack of safe drinking water and adequate sanitation causes poverty. Usually the women and the girls have to spend long times fetching water. Girls drop out of school due to lack of time and also due to lack of appropriate sanitation facilities at schools. The opportunities people have to engage in themselves in activities that could help them overcome poverty are diminished. Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project in Western Nepal (RWSSP-WN) is a rural water supply, sanitation and hygiene sector support program funded by the Governments of Nepal and Finland that is committed to support the Government of Nepal in providing all its citizens the basic level of water supply and sanitation services by the year 2017. The project period is for four years from 2008 until 2012. The RWSSP-WN office in Pokhara and District Support Advisors based support and strengthen the local bodies of the participating nine districts of RWSSP-WN in their work in the Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and in the development of the whole water supply, sanitation and hygiene sector in the country.
