Why choose WaterAid?

By choosing WaterAid as your school's Charity of the Year, your students will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of WaterAid's work and of the issues around water and sanitation in the developing world.

You and your students will have the chance to change the lives of many of the world's poorest people in the 17 African and Asian countries in which we work. It costs on average just £15 to enable one person to access a lasting supply of safe water and sanitation - so your school's support over a whole year will have a huge impact!
