We all need water to live, yet 2 billion people don't have clean water.

We're WaterAid and we exist to change that.

Over the past 40 years, we have reached nearly 30 million people with clean water.

We rely on the generous support of people like you to keep this momentum going.

Why are monthly gifts so important for our work?

Monthly gifts allow us to plan and monitor our projects effectively. We use our expertise to provide the right solution for the community, because we want these systems to work for the next 20+ years.

This is how we can then build trust with neighboring districts and donors, by pointing to our strong track record and
data-driven reporting.

Our post-project work supports this, by monitoring our projects and how they community use them, we can
prove that clean water is transformational. 

Why WaterAid?

We were founded in 1981 and work in 25 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America.

We work
with communities to install water and sanitation systems that are locally-owned and maintained.

Our approach is led by the specific needs of the community. Once we have established a pilot project, we work with neighboring communities and local officials to scale our work. This allows us to reach more people at a faster rate.

Trust is at the core of our work and this is how we integrate hygiene education and maintenance plans into our projects.
