Would you drink this?
Over a billion people never get a clean glass of water to drink. If you think this is unacceptable please join our photo gallery now. Send us pictures of dirty water that you wouldn't want to drink and help us demand safe, clean water for the world's poorest people.

The silent sanitation scandal
Sanitation was recently voted the greatest medical milestone of the last 150 years in a poll by the British Medical Journal. But, despite 1.8 million children dying every year from diarrhoea, water and sanitation are still glaringly absent from this year’s G8 agenda.

Waste not, want not
When WaterAid's partner Lumanti suggested that the community in Lyaku, Nepal, could be the first in the country to try composting latrines, some people were unconvinced. Years on, with better crops and improved health, the project has proved a great success.

Time well spent
Mary Chukle used to spend hours each day collecting water from the river. But now, thanks to the water, sanitation and hygiene project in Takkas, Nigeria, Mary not only has better health but she also has enough time to run the village shop.

Get ready for Glastonbury!
After a year's recovery, Glastonbury festival is back. As always, WaterAid will have a big presence at the festival with our much loved VIP African loos. You can already help support WaterAid by picking up a form to register for your tickets from any Millets shop.

Help us spread the word about the importance of water and sanitation. If you have found this newsletter interesting, please forward it to a friend.
