The Mvula Trust is South Africa's largest water and sanitation NGO, working to improve the health and well-being of rural and peri-urban communities by increasing access to sustainable water, sanitation and related services.

In particular, we specialise in community management, the establishment of community based water services providers and supporting local authorities to create an enabling environment for sustainability.
