Clean water (as well as toilets and good hygiene!) are what keep us all healthy. They should be a normal part of daily life for everyone, everywhere – but they aren't. We're in a position to change that.

With the help of amazing people like you, we're working in some of the toughest places in the world. Together, we've already reached millions of people with these three essentials, enabling entire communities to stay healthy, to unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.

And while installing taps and toilets is essential to our work, we do so much more. From advocacy to engineering, water is just the beginning!

In 2020, lives have been transformed by clean water at home

For Fatima, Lourdes and Amelia in Timor-Leste, that means being able to drink fresh water whenever they need it.

In 2020, people gained access to a decent toilet.

A toilet means the chance for children like Henitsoa in Madagascar to stay in school, taking them closer to reaching their dreams.

Together, we're changing lives for the better in 22 countries around the world.

We’ve made amazing progress, but we have a long way to go.

We still need your help to bring clean water to everyone, everywhere.

Having a water point would mean having enough time to farm. It would mean a change for our children’s future. They would live a free life because they would be able to attend school.

We all know that  people living without clean water shouldn’t be normal. That  people not having a reliable toilet shouldn’t be normal. That poverty shouldn’t be normal.

Thanks to remarkable people like you, we’ve already made huge progress. But there’s still so much more we need to do. And creating lasting change isn’t just a dream.

Together, we can reach everyone, everywhere with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene within a generation. One village, one region, one country at a time.
