Press releases and statements

A host of celebrities have revealed their childhood photos and personal memories from school in support of WaterAid’s campaign to get clean water and toilets into schools so more girls can complete their education and build a better future.

WaterAid is concerned about the damage tropical storm Ana is causing in parts of southern Africa, as ongoing heavy rains have already forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and flooding is likely to contaminate water sources.

WaterAid and award-winning Indian transmedia artist and activist Poulomi Basu have launched a dynamic new dystopian photo series, Sisters of the Moon, to show how a lack of clean water and toilets limits the power and potential of women and girls.

“Anti-microbial resistance is a silent killer of millions across the globe, but the double tragedy is many people could have been saved by the basics of clean water, sanitation and good hygiene (WASH), which is critical to prevent and control the spread of drug resistant infections.
