The impact your future gift can have

Adding water to your will is not just practical, giving people clean water that’s safe to drink, somewhere decent to go to the toilet and the means to wash their hands through good hygiene. It’s more personal than that. It’s your life meaning the most to someone else’s by giving them the opportunity to unlock their potential.

Almost 1 in 10 people around the world don't have clean water close to home, and almost 1 in 4 don't have a decent toilet of their own. By adding water to your will, you can fund the taps and toilets that communities need to help them change their own lives forever.

At WaterAid, we are grateful for every gift we receive from wonderful supporters like you. This income means that year on year, we can deliver more of the taps and toilets needed to ensure that everyone, everywhere has the clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene they need to transform their own lives.

How donations are used to have the greatest impact

We spend every pound carefully, making sure that we use these gifts in the best possible way by ensuring that each community gets the clean water systems, decent toilets and hygiene awareness that are right for them, and that will last well into the future.

With the help of amazing people like you, we've already reached millions of people with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, enabling entire communities to unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.

In the last year alone, we supported:
