WaterAid and Glastonbury
The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts offers WaterAid a unique and innovative opportunity to publicise its overseas work - particularly sanitation. Aside from the stunning array of established and emerging bands and performance artists, the media loves a good story about bodily functions and bogs! The basic, yet practical, toilet facilities provided by the festival provoke a mixture of reactions but, for over two billion people in the developing world, lack of effective sanitation is more than a temporary inconvenience. It is undignified and squalid and, combined with inadequate or non-existent supplies of safe water, is potentially a killer. That's why WaterAid is so pleased to get the opportunity to spread the word to thousands of festival goers about the importance of clean water, safe sanitation, and hygiene education. Use the links below to find out more about WaterAid's involvement with Glastonbury, what we've got up to in the name of fundraising and spreading awareness (like dressing up as a giant poo!), and some of the things money raised at the Festival has been spent on:
