Since 1981,
we have been working with some of the world's poorest people.
Helping them to access safe water, good sanitation and improved hygiene.
Today, one in eight people are living without safe drinking water,
two-fifths of the world's population don't have access to adequate sanitation
and four thousand children die every day from diarrhoea.
At WaterAid we want to change this.
We work with local partners who really understand local issues
and can provide communities with the technical expertise they need
to setup and manage
practical and sustainable, life changing projects.
We also campaign, locally,
nationally and internationally to change policy and practice.
Ensuring that water and sanitation
are recognised as the first vital step in overcoming poverty.
Water, sanitation and improved hygiene,
practical support and advocacy:
this is our integrated approach to tackling the spread of water-related diseases.
Restoring dignity, creating opportunity and bringing change for some
of the world's poorest people.
We have come a long way since 1981 and together we can do so
much more. That's why we want you to get involved.
Whether it's making a regular donation, taking action, doing a sponsored
challenge, or getting your school, company or community to support us in
any way they can.
We need you to help us make a difference.
