Wateraid

When a community gets clean water for the first time, it’s the start of something truly life-changing.

Right now, millions of people living in some of the lowest-income countries in the world don't have clean water to drink, decent toilets to use or good hygiene to protect themselves. Without these basics, overcoming poverty is just a dream.

But when you help WaterAid dig a well or install a tap in a community, you're changing the lives of people like Imamzadi, from Pakistan, for the better. Clean water helps people dream again.

771 million people in the world – one in ten – do not have clean water close to home.

We'll keep working until everyone, everywhere has clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. But we can’t do it without you.
