What we do:
Water, sanitation, hygiene
Safe water supplies free women
from hours of water collection
each day, meaning they have
more time and energy to devote to
growing food, earning an income
and caring for their families.
Good sanitation plays a vital role
in stopping the spread of disease,
but also improves dignity and
safety, especially for women and
girls.

WaterAid enables the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water
and sanitation. Together with improved hygiene, these basic human rights
underpin health, education, and livelihoods.
Hygiene practices, such as
handwashing, reduce the spread
of water-related diseases,
meaning adults are more
productive and children are well
enough to attend school.

Our technology
Fly screen tightly fixed to vent
above roof level
We always use technologies that are low cost, appropriate to
the local financial and geographical conditions and within
the technical capacity of the benefiting community to
operate and maintain. So that communities are responsible
and feel a sense of ownership for their projects, they are
involved in all stages of projects, from planning to building
and managing the new facilities long into the future.

Monitoring, evaluation
and learning
Grout
Learning is central to our work. We continually review, refine and adapt
our methods to make sure that our work is sustainable and meets the
needs of everyone in the local community, especially the most vulnerable
people. We undertake independent, participatory evaluations to help us
understand how our work can be improved. These help us improve our
effectiveness, enhance our accountability, and identify lessons relating to
good practice.

We deliver services
In 2011/12
We delivered water and sanitation services in
schools, ensuring a healthy learning environment.
Gender-segregated restrooms in schools provide
much needed privacy for teenage girls.
We responded to monsoon floods in Pakistan and
Orissa, India, helping affected people gain access to
water and sanitation.
We helped tackle Ethiopia’s worst drought in 60
years by providing emergency aid in drought-stricken
areas in Ethiopia, while also building the resilience of
water and sanitation facilities against future droughts.
Our sustainability framework was completed this
year and disseminated to all country programs. We
continued to train people in each local community
to undertake routine maintenance of facilities
themselves, while also training handpump mechanics
who are on call to fix more serious problems with
water points across whole districts.
Kudelo Kutema, pictured with her grandchildren in Mecheke, a
drought-affected village in the Konso region of Ethiopia where
WaterAid worked to provide a water supply.
She told us:
The journey to fetch water takes about two hours. Sometimes
we have to eat leaves of coffee trees when we go to the gorges
to fetch water so that we don't carry back the water with empty
stomachs.

Our urban framework and urban manifesto were published,
providing guidance for introducing improved water and
sanitation facilities in urban areas. We helped poor
communities in slums in major cities such as Kampala in
Uganda, as well as those living in small towns, where rapid,
unplanned growth and a lack of infrastructure are leaving many
poor people without adequate water and sanitation services.
We piloted innovative technologies, such as building a rural
piped water system that uses solar energy for people displaced
by flooding in Bangladesh, and a communal underground
rainwater harvesting tank in Rwanda.
Clarence House
We ensured that water, sanitation and hygiene facilities were
accessible to those who often get overlooked, such as older
and disabled people, those who are terminally ill, nomads in
Niger and prisoners in Burkina Faso.

WaterAid influences policy
Internationally, we focused on getting governments around the
world to join the Sanitation and Water for All partnership, a
new global mechanism aimed at increasing political priority
and resources allocated to sanitation and water.
Nigeria
India
Madagascar
Tanzania
We helped form the Nigeria
Water Supply Association to
enable low-income consumers to
engage with water service
providers to secure their rights
to water.
WaterAid’s partners are
monitoring the implementation
of the right to education and
supporting parents and children
in calling for adequate water and
sanitation facilities in schools.
Our influencing work resulted in
a commitment by the
government to ensure that an
additional one million people
have access to water and
sanitation by 2015.
We succeeded in influencing
the government to adopt our
water point mapping tool
(www.waterpointmapper.org)
for performance monitoring in 63
out of the 132 districts.
On World Toilet Day in November 2011 we launched our report
Off-track, off-target: Why investment in water, sanitation and hygiene
is not reaching those who need it most, highlighting the crisis in
sanitation financing and calling on donor countries to double
global aid flows to water, sanitation and hygiene by prioritizing
an additional US$10 billion per year.
USA
Nepal
South Asian Conference
on Sanitation (SACOSAN)
We continued to monitor implementation of the Water for the Poor Act,
while also rallying support for the Senator Paul Simon Water for the
World Act, a new piece of legislation that would make existing aid more
effective without spending any more money. On World Water Day we
held an Advocacy Day in Washington, DC allowing supporters to meet
with their Members of Congress face to face to highlight the urgency of
the water and sanitation crisis. We also launched an online system to
enable supporters to email their Members of Congress.
Our continued work raising
awareness of the importance of
safe water and sanitation for
people living with HIV/AIDS
resulted in the government
applying for support from the
Global Fund for AIDS,TB and
Malaria to prioritize personal
hygiene as a basic component of
home-based care.
Following extensive advocacy
work by WaterAid the
governments attending SACOSAN
in April 2011 recognized the right
to sanitation in their programs
and legislation.

Spotlight on
Nicaragua
WaterAid's Nicaragua program was launched in July
2011, our first foray into Latin America. We are
training local communities in:
• Installation, maintenance and repair of rope pumps
(a simple type of water pump)
• Installation of eco-toilets (pour-flush toilets within
households, connected to septic tanks and infiltration
fields)
• Manual borehole well drilling
• Cleaning and disinfection of hand-dug wells
• Household rainwater catchment system installation.
The skills learned are being put directly into practice,
resulting in safe water supplies being set up for
households, schools and health posts, and household
latrines being constructed. Our sanitation program is
prioritizing assistance for households including
disabled people, pregnant women or the elderly.

WaterAid's Nicaragua program focuses on the
North Atlantic Autonomous Region on the
Caribbean Coast. Home to many indigenous
peoples, it is largely cut off from the rest of the
country and is one of the most deprived parts
of Nicaragua. While the landscape is
dominated by rivers, lagoons and coastal
floodplains, the vast majority of the population
there - 80% of people - do not have access to
safe drinking water or toilets.

WaterAid is bringing safe water and sanitation to poor
communities in Nicaragua through the use of simple, low-cost
technolo gies such as rope pumps, solar-powered pumps,
rainwater harvesting and pour-flush eco-toilets.
Find out more in this short video.
Empowering women
Living without safe water and sanitation impacts women and girls the
most. It is they who usually collect water, care for those sick with waterrelated diseases, and suffer the most from the lack of privacy when living
without a bathroom. This short film explores how WaterAid's water and
sanitation services are enabling women and girls to attend school, earn a
living and lead healthy, dignified lives.
In the training we learned how to wash the
rainwater harvesting system, how to collect the
water and how to maintain this system. Water
is very important for us, we need it all the time.
My child is very happy now because he's not
affected by diarrhea, scabies, high fever and
pains in his belly.

Thank you. Your help
is transforming lives
in the world's poorest
communities.
I support WaterAid because they continue to take a very data driven,
pragmatic approach to the problem of access to clean water and
sanitation. I really appreciate WaterAid’s position and approach as it is
based on facts and they don’t try to sugar coat the situation or provide
pithy long term goals that cannot be measured or managed against. It
is refreshing to see such an honest, straightforward approach based on
facts and not emotion to what is a very challenging task.

It hurts me to hear that 1 in 8 people in the world do not have access to
safe water and about 2000 kids die every day from diseases caused by
unclean water. WaterAid's work reflects the philosophy of self-sustenance by empowering people in some of the poorest communities to
gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene. I am very proud of
WaterAid's accomplishments world-wide and wish them continued
success in their work. It gives me immense pride to be associated with
an organization like WaterAid that is making a real difference in our
society!

The TripAdvisor Foundation grants funds
for causes that our employees support.
Many of us were touched by the problems
caused by the drought in East Africa in
2011 and so we did extensive research to
find an organization that could put the
Foundation’s money to work quickly and
efficiently, and that would also have a
lasting impact. We chose WaterAid
because they have extensive expertise, a
great track record and an excellent
reputation for involving the local
communities. So far we have reached over
15,000 people with clean water, and we
are delighted with the results.

Throughout my life I spent time living and
working in the developing world. I have
witnessed the challenging and devastating
consequences of life without access to clean
water and sanitation particularly for women
and children. I support WaterAid because they
are helping millions of people get a better
chance at life with clean water. I believe all
children should be able to grow up healthy
and happy with clean water to drink and
WaterAid is helping that happen.
In late 2011 a team of eight graders from Windemere
Ranch Middle School, San Ramon, CA decided they
wanted to make a difference – both in their own
community and in communities across Africa that were
living without clean water. With their parents' support, the
Pump a Village Team of Aparna Manocha, Anjini Agarwal,
Chetana Rao, Nikita Nawani, Ruhi Sehgal, and Trisha
Malhotra, has raised close to $4,000 to support their
mission.
Water is the main necessity in life, so we
should help.
