1.7 billion people don't have clean water inside their healthcare facility. Together with the Wimbledon Foundation, we're working to transform health centres and communities around the world.
Our partnership
Since 2017, the Wimbledon Foundation has donated £1.5 million to bring clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to healthcare facilities and communities in Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Myanmar and Nepal. In 2023, an extension of the partnership for a further four years was announced, building on this work and expanding into Pakistan and Mozambique.
With taps, toilets and handwashing facilities, doctors, nurses and midwives can treat patients safely and deliver healthcare wins in their community.
Water is a game changer
With clean hands, I can keep babies and patients safe from infection.
When Zelifa, a midwife, started working at the Mkhuzi Health Centre in Malawi, there was no running water. Now staff have water to clean rooms and equipment, and patients have decent toilets and handwashing facilities.
