What does WaterAid do in Rwanda?
We use our experience and expertise to provide decision-makers with accurate information. We bring people and organisations together and build their skills. We campaign for more and better-targeted investment. And we empower communities so that the Government hears their voices. Together we can make clean water, toilets and hygiene a normal part of daily life for all Rwandans.
Delivering life with clean water
