We all need water to survive. WaterAid was founded over 40 years by water engineers. We work alongside communities to devise location-specific water solutions. We also work with local utility companies and governments to establish maintenance, testing and budgets to ensure our systems last. We also have a strong advocacy core to our work, to educate everyone about the transformational power of clean water. This is how we will create generational change and reduce poverty.
