Tap into WaterAid is a fantastic opportunity to transform a patron's requests for tap water into a rewarding experience for both you and your customer.

With tap water becoming an increasingly common request, it is the perfect opportunity to suggest a customer donation to WaterAid's work. Suggesting donations for the free, clean water that you provide is vital to the many people who still live with no option but to drink dirty, unsafe water.

Partners who have supported us through tap water have proven just how successful it is and concluded that their customers love them for it! This explains why they continue to support Tap into WaterAid.

As easy as one, two, three

From our years of fundraising experience, we know the importance of ease and simplicity for our partners when supporting us. This is why tapping into WaterAid is as easy as:
