WaterAid is inviting churches to be part of its Christmas Appeal, The Water Effect, by encouraging congregations to hold collections and raise awareness of the vital need for improving access to clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene in healthcare facilities around the world.

A health centre in rural Mali that relies on just 7 litres of dirty water per patient for all its cleaning, drinking and washing needs will get lifesaving water and sanitation facilities as part of WaterAid’s winter appeal, The Water Effect.

A new ranking by WaterAid of developing countries shows where millions of people are already losing their right to water, increasing their vulnerability to the impact of climate change.

Three staff members from People’s Postcode Lottery in Scotland have returned from an eye-opening trip to Malawi to see how players’ support for WaterAid is helping transform lives in some of the world’s poorest communities.
