Mission: Water brings the water industry together to build a world where everyone, everywhere has clean and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene.

Back in 1981, members of the UK water industry came together to found an international organisation dedicated to ending the water crisis. That's us: WaterAid.

You are part of our history.

Since then we've made great progress, but there are still 703 million people without clean water close to home.

Will you continue to make clean water a reality for millions more around the world?

Your mission can make a difference

By taking part in Mission: Water, you'll be helping communities like the Munda people in Kolbari, southern Bangladesh.

They would often get sick from the water but they now have clean drinking water throughout the year thanks to a rainwater harvesting system.

Munjuri's story

WaterAid/ Fabeha Monir

Munjuri is a committee member of the new rainwater harvesting system. in Kolbari.

Life used to be really difficult. Like many women and girls, she often had to walk for hours to collect unsafe water. 

I used to have to walk 1km to collect water and there wasn’t time to do other things. Sometimes I had to take my children to school at the same time so I couldn’t go.

Since the rainwater harvesting system was installed, life has improved. Munjuri feels healthier and has more time with her children.

Now people use clean water to wash and that has made a big difference to our lives.

I hope that more rainwater systems are built in nearby communities so that they won’t suffer in the way we used to.
