Who
we are

WaterAid is an international non-profit with one goal: to change the world through water.

Change starts with a reliable supply of clean water.

Along with decent toilets and good hygiene, a reliable supply of clean water is essential for health, dignity and a life full of opportunity. Childbirth is safer, children get the chance to grow up healthy and strong. Families thrive and whole communities are better prepared for our changing climate and whatever the future holds.

We work alongside communities worldwide setting up entire systems that deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for millions. And we get the people, policies and money in place to keep these systems working – and the water flowing for good. So that people have safe, reliable services that last. Our work with communities, partners, allies and supporters has already meant millions of people can shape their own future with dignity and confidence.

To drive lasting change on a global scale and faster than ever, we get others to step up and play their part:

  • Partnering with communities to build systems that work for them
  • Connecting policy makers, experts, local partners and communities   
  • Innovating, learning, modelling solutions and sharing good practice
  • Changing attitudes and behaviours    
  • Rallying support from people and organisations around the world
  • Working with decision makers to scale up investment and accelerate progress.

Together with our partners and supporters, we are working with determination towards the day when we are no longer needed.

Impact

We know that having access to clean water, saniation and hygiene is a powerful life-changer. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty, and change their lives for good. Children grow up healthy and strong, women and men can earn a living, whole families and communities start to thrive.

That’s why since 2004, with your support, WaterAid Australia has reached over 5.72 million people, across 14 countries globally, through our water, sanitation and hygiene programs. To achieve this, we have:

Installed taps, toilets, tanks, and other systems throughout the region to bring clean water, toilets and hygiene close to home for community members, reducing the need for people to travel long and gruelling distances to collect water
Worked with local and national governments to achieve Open Defecation Free (ODF) status in districts and provinces throughout the region, creating sanitary environments and reducing the risk of deadly diseases throughout communities.
Helped provide access to WASH in healthcare facilities, increasing access to safe health services, especially for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, newborn babies, people with disabilities, and the elderly.
Helped to install WASH facilities in primary and secondary schools throughout the region, reducing barriers to education, particularly for girls, and opening more opportunities for this generation.
Worked to build and promote sustainable WASH systems designed to withstand the effects of climate change and extreme weather events.
Been dedicated to working with local partners, organisations and governments to create long term, context specific change.
