About THRIVE NETWORKS GLOBAL

Thrive Networks Global (operating in the U.S. as Thrive Networks and internationally as East Meets West) is an international NGO founded in 1988 that pioneers evidence‑based programs in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), healthy cities, and resilient communities in Cambodia, Laos and Viet Nam. ([thrivenetworks.org](https://thrivenetworks.org/))

The organization emphasizes rigorous measurement and scaling of proven approaches, working in partnership with government agencies, local women’s groups, and private sector suppliers to deliver services and build local capacity. Thrive reports cumulative impact figures (since 1988) including millions served with improved water and sanitation services. ([thrivenetworks.org](https://thrivenetworks.org/))

In the last three years Thrive Networks/East Meets West has been active in donor‑funded programs including the Women‑Led Output‑Based Aid (WOBA) workstream and the Community‑Led Inclusive Climate Resilient (CLICR) WASH program in Cambodia (Water for Women/DFAT funded), and continues to publish evaluations and learning products documenting outcomes and gender‑inclusive approaches.
