Getting married?

Give more than a bog standard wedding present!

Do your friends have everything... except two taps for a village water point?

WaterAid's new SH2OP for life has a whole range of alternative goods so that you can buy exciting wedding presents - while helping some of the world's poorest people gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.

Buy a lifesaving gift and you'll receive a beautiful card describing the gift that you can sign and send on, or you can write a personalised message online and let us send the card directly for you. To buy a gift visit www.wateraid.org/shopforlife.

Getting married? Congratulations!

Donating instead of giving wedding presents could make somebody else's day special too.

Have you already got all the toasters and kettles you need? Would you like your wedding day to be a special occasion for even more people? If so, why not celebrate your wedding by asking your guests to donate to WaterAid, instead of receiving wedding presents.

It is now possible to set up a online fundraising web page so that people can donate by credit or debit card instead of giving presents. See a sample wedding fund page. To set up a wedding page, follow the instructions on our partner site justgiving.com:

We can also supply donation forms and posters to use on the day in addition to your JustGiving page, for more information please email the Supporter Care Team or call them on 0845 6000 433.
