Mejorar las condiciones

English translation: To improve conditions

International Org/Dev/Coop / Community development act
Spanish term or phrase: Mejorar las condiciones
Source text:

Esta propuesta de mejora comunitaria está basada en dos aspectos en particular: Mejorar las condiciones para que las familias de las comunidades consuman agua de calidad mediante el uso de purificadores de agua.

No sé, me parece que simplemente "Mejorar las condiciones" queda incompleto, quizas por el contexto podría ser "mejorar las condiciones del agua/consumo de agua?"
