Growing together

Partnering with WaterAid means we can drive progress together, united by a common purpose.

See our current partners

WaterAid was set up by the private sector: water industry companies came together to support an organisation focused on water, sanitation and hygiene. Collaboration with companies is part of our history and at the heart of what we do.

We are looking for relationships that can grow over time, with people and organisations who share our vision. And we want to build unique partnerships that deliver great value for everyone. 

You'll receive all the expertise we've learnt from working with the private sector for over 30 years, as well as advice and thought leadership to co-create long-term programmes.
