Press releases and statements

News of the death of a woman and her two sons in rural Nepal after she was banished to a small shed during menstruation must serve to strengthen efforts to banish the practice, WaterAid said today.

To kickstart the New Year, WaterAid has launched Just Water, the toughest abstinence charity challenge where participants get sponsored for drinking nothing but water for a month. 

Mexican artist Victoria Villasana has teamed up with WaterAid to create a stunning collection of unique multimedia images from around the world. The beautiful ‘Water Effect’ gallery shines a spotlight on the global water crisis and highlights the transformative power of water through stories of hope and opportunity. 

Slightly Mad Studios, the entertainment software development company, has donated £48,000 to international charity WaterAid.
