Clean water

It's a basic human right – but millions of people have to drink water so dirty it could kill them. Together, we can get clean water to everyone, everywhere within a generation.

Decent toilets

They might not be glamorous. They might not be easy to talk about. But toilets bring health, safety and dignity. Let’s make sure nobody has to go without one.

Good hygiene

It might sound simple, but spreading the word about good hygiene really does save lives, making the impact of clean water and decent toilets last for generations to come.
