Esta oracion no me suena bien, la siento muy larga y poco definida. Personalmente, yo la modificaria:
Despite living in a community with limited access to safe water, Teresa now has the satisfaction of ensuring her family's well-being thanks to clean water and newly-adopted personal and familial hygiene practices.
