Pakistan sits at the crossroads of Asia and the Middle East, a geographically and culturally diverse nation with fast-growing power and influence.
It has the world’s sixth-largest population and is rapidly urbanising, which makes reaching everyone with basic services extremely challenging. People are moving to towns faster than in any other South Asian country, straining already limited services. And natural disasters present further obstacles to development and the sustainability of water and sanitation services.

WaterAid in Pakistan
We started in 2006 in Pakistan and have remained focused on tackling the issues of water, sanitation and hygiene that contribute in people's lives.
We emphasise on the consolidation of the past programme accomplishments, replication and scaling-up successful models for sustainability.
We aim to inspire people with compelling stories that ignite change, making these basic human rights normal for everyone, everywhere.
There is a lot happening in the course of our work. From work on the ground to collaboration with the governments and partners.
21 million people lack access to water close to home in Pakistan. 70 million lack decent toilets.
Three goals. One team.
Clean water, proper sanitation and good hygiene help everyone around the world live happy and healthy lives.
Let's make this normal for everyone, everywhere, always.
