WaterAid believes that access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education
together provide the key to poverty reduction.
Our work transforms millions of people’s lives every year
by focussing on projects that combine these three elements.
We work with local partner organisations across the world
to help communities build water points and latrines
close to their homes.
We use technologies and materials that fit the local context and we train people
to maintain them.
Sustainability is crucial to our approach and
we work hard to ensure that projects are simple to use and easy to maintain.
Alongside providing essential services, we promote hygiene education,
ensuring that health improvements within communities are significant
and long term.
By supporting local communities and partners,
we help them to grow and become stronger.
When they are less reliant on our resources and support, we are able to work
with other local partners.
In this way, the cycle of training and development continues.
Through our unique approach and the incredible generosity of our supporters,
each year brings us closer to our goal;
a world where everyone has access to clean water and sanitation.
