WaterAid's UK partners play a vital role in supporting our work.

Supporting WaterAid is an excellent way to help achieve corporate affairs, publicity and marketing objectives, as well as raise staff morale. All of our partners have one objective in common - to help WaterAid work towards our vision of a world where everyone has access to safe water and effective sanitation.

Here are some of the partners who currently support us:

BlackBerry® - Research In Motion® (makers of BlackBerry® smartphones) have supported WaterAid since 2006. Over £50,000 has been raised during this time for WaterAid’s projects in Madagascar and Mali through a range of fundraising events including staff parties and auctions. Research in Motion® has generously matched the donations raised by staff, enabling WaterAid to help even more people.
