We focus on clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene – the three essentials that unlock progress for people, communities and economies worldwide.
Delivering Sustainable Development Goal Six – water and sanitation for all – by 2030 is going to demand new approaches, huge resourcefulness, and genuine innovation.
That's why we develop strategic partnerships with businesses which are open to collaborating and co-creating new solutions.
With huge benefits for your company and the chance to transform lives, there are lots of great reasons to start a partnership with WaterAid.
Boosting Business
Everyone, everywhere has the right to water and sanitation – at home and at work. Our research shows that investing in these facilities within supply chains should be seen as a core business priority, with a positive ripple effect on the business and whole communities.
Why partner with us?
A partnership with WaterAid supports your business to:
A business can't be resilient while its employees, supply chain workers and communities lack clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. But by ensuring these basic human rights are respected throughout your supply chain, you can realise significant business benefits and enable communities where you operate to thrive.
Whether you're just starting out on your water journey or you're already a water stewardship leader, a supply chain partnership with WaterAid can help you understand where gaps may exist and take direct action to address identified issues.
Grow brand awareness and boost sales by engaging customers with a cause they care about. Research shows almost half of consumers are more likely to buy from a brand that donates a portion of its proceeds to charity (YouGov, 2023). Together, we can maximise impact through cause-related marketing campaigns to deepen customer loyalty and reach new audiences.
Demonstrate your company’s values and unite your staff behind a shared purpose. Our team will work with you to create an engaging calendar of events – from bespoke fundraising campaigns, to challenge events, volunteering initiatives and educational programmes. We’ll support you to engage your employees globally and raise vital funds to support WaterAid’s work.
We partner with businesses who care about creating a lasting and sustainable impact. Our partnerships offer an opportunity to work closely together towards a world where everyone, everywhere has clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene. With these three essentials, people can unlock their potential, break free from poverty, and change their lives for good.
Our collective efforts with local partners and global allies have meant that millions of people have already built better lives and futures – and over the next decade, we will reach hundreds of millions more. Your company can help us get there through corporate giving whilst delivering on your social impact and sustainability commitments.
Growing together
WaterAid was set up by the private sector, when 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.
In line with our goal to support healthy and active lives as the charity of an international sporting event, the Wimbledon Foundation is proud to continue championing clean water through our partnership with WaterAid.
