Welcome to Oasis. The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed a refreshed look to the magazine – we hope you like it. We have also introduced some new features so there's something for everyone. You'll find letters from supporters on key issues, a photo story from Bangladesh, and a technology section to explain one of WaterAid's simple solutions helping to transform communities. You may even find yourself playing the games in the children's section Splash out!

As you look through you'll see there are lots of new and easy ways to support WaterAid, whether it's donating, running, shopping, singing, dancing or campaigning. Your activities raise vital funds and make the water and sanitation crisis increasingly difficult to ignore.

Don't just take my word for it, read what the UK Secretary of State for International Development had to say about the power of WaterAid supporters' campaigning efforts.

Thank you for helping to change poor communities' lives, for raising awareness of the crisis here in the UK and for demanding politicians take the action that's so desperately needed. You are helping to change the world. Please let us know what you think of Oasis.

Happy reading, and when you've finished, please pass it on!
