Right now, some of the world’s poorest and most marginalised people don’t have clean water to drink, decent toilets or hygiene. Without these basics, overcoming poverty is just a dream.

But when you help WaterAid to dig a well or install a tap stand in a community, you're changing the lives of children for the better. They can dream again.

Every child should have a bright future ahead of them and focus on being a child - not walking long distances to collect and drink dirty water.

785 million people in the world – one in ten – do not have clean water close to home. WaterAid will keep working until everyone, everywhere has clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. But they can’t do it without you.
