Purpose: |
WaterAid is the United Kingdom's only major charity dedicated exclusively to provision of domestic water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion to the world's poorest people. Billions of people do not have access to safe water and billions of people in the world lack adequate sanitation. WaterAid works with individuals and families in their communities, paying special attention to the role of women, to enable them to take ownership of these projects and to maintain a lasting supply of safe water as well as influence others to do the same. It believes that their approach makes it possible for communities to sustain a better quality of life, and is an essential step in the eradication of poverty. |
