NEWRI Community Development (NEWRIComm) is the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of NEWRI. NEWRIComm partners benefactors to create a better-shared future in Asia through capacity building, innovation, and implementation of holistic solutions in the domain of water and sanitation. The NEWRIComm method does not encourage the donation of only devices and counting direct beneficiaries in projects. It articulates the sharing of responsibilities among the “receiving” partner, a local partner capable of absorbing the knowhow, the local government, and NEWRI.

In such a setting the impact exceeds the change brought to the direct beneficiary but also to the technical partner who shall be able to further disseminate the know-how, and the awareness planted in the authorities and oftentimes thereafter leading to further action beneficial to environmental sustainability.
