WaterAid's mission is simple

We won’t stop until clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene are normal for everyone, everywhere. You can help create this future with a gift in your Will – legally known as a bequest.

How to add a gift to your Will

It’s very easy to include a gift to WaterAid in your Will. All you have to do is give your solicitor our full legal name (WaterAid Australia) and registered Australian Business Number (99 700 687 141). That’s it! Your solicitor will do the rest.

We understand and respect that your decisions about your Will are private, personal and made after much consideration. We also understand that circumstances can change. You can change the content of your Will at any time. We will never pressure you to declare your intentions, though of course, we’ll always be delighted to hear from you.

The impact your future gift can have

Adding water to your Will is not just practical, giving people clean water that’s safe to drink, somewhere decent to go to the toilet and the means to wash their hands through good hygiene. It’s more personal than that. It’s your life meaning the most to someone else’s by giving them the opportunity to unlock their potential.

Almost 1 in 10 people around the world don't have clean water close to home, and almost 1 in 4 don't have a decent toilet of their own.

At WaterAid, we are grateful for every gift we receive from wonderful supporters like you. This income means that year on year, we can deliver more of the taps and toilets needed to ensure that everyone, everywhere has the clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene they need to transform their own lives.

How donations are used to have the greatest impact

We spend every dollar carefully, making sure that we use these gifts in the best possible way. We do this by ensuring that each community gets the clean water systems, toilets and hygiene awareness that are right for them - and that will last well into the future.

With the help of amazing people like you, we've already reached millions of people with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, enabling entire communities to unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.
