What we do:Water, sanitation, hygieneWaterAid helps the world’s poorest people gain access to safe water and sanitation. Together with improved hygiene, these basic human rights underpin health, education, and livelihoods.

Safe water supplies free women from hours of water collection each day. 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.

Hygiene practices, such ashandwashing, reduce the spread of water-related diseases. Adults are more productive and children don’t have to miss school.

I don’t have a latrine in my house, so I go to the forest. It takes 15 minutes over this bridge. I will be very concerned about my daughter following this path because it is dangerous.

WaterAid always uses technologies that are low cost, appropriateto the local financial and geographic conditions and within thetechnical capacity of the benefiting community to manage andmaintain. So that communities are responsible and feel a senseof ownership for their projects, they are involved in all stages ofprojects, from planning to building and managing the new facilities long into the future.

The ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine has proved successful in rural areas in overcoming problems with flies and odors.

Rainwater harvestingis a useful technology for areas with regular rainfall and limited access to surface and groundwater.

The hand-dug wellis a traditional and low-cost technology to obtain groundwater in rural areas.

Monitoring, evaluatingand learningLearning is central to our work. We continually review, refine and adaptour methods to make sure that our work is sustainable and meets the needs of everyone in the community, especially the most vulnerable. We undertake independent, participatory evaluations to help us improve our effectiveness, enhance our accountability, and identify best practices.

We deliver servicesIn 2011/12

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.

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:

We tackled severe drought in the horn of Africa 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 seriousproblems with water points across whole districts.

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.

Menstrual hygiene has become a core component of WaterAid’s hygiene programs.

In November 2011 HRH the Prince of Wales saw WaterAid's water and sanitation work in action in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

2011TOP NON-

PROFIT

In January 2012 WaterAid was ranked #1 water and sanitation non-profit by Philanthropedia. We were honored to have topped the list of international water and sanitation non-profits in a survey of 116 experts.

We piloted innovative technologies, such as building a ruralpiped water system that uses solar energy for people displaced by flooding in Bangladesh, and a communal undergroundrainwater harvesting tank in Rwanda.

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 ensured that water, sanitation and hygiene facilities wereaccessible to those who often get overlooked, such as older and disabled people, those who are terminally ill, nomads and tea-pickers.

Full water containers can weigh up to 40 pounds, a heavy burden for women to carry.

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

We helped form the Nigeria Water Supply Association to enable low-income consumers to engage with water service providers to secure their rightsto water.

India

WaterAid’s partners aremonitoring the implementation of the right to education and supporting parents and children in calling for adequate water and sanitation facilities in schools.

Madagascar

Our influencing work resulted in a commitment by thegovernment to ensure that an additional one million people have access to water andsanitation by 2015.

Tanzania

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.


Water for theWorld Act

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

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.

Nepal

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.

South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN)

Following extensive advocacy work by WaterAid the governments attending SACOSAN in April 2011 recognized the right to sanitation in their programs and legislation.

Spotlight onNicaraguaWaterAid's Nicaragua program was launched in July2011, our first foray into Latin America and the Caribbean.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 withinhouseholds, 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 forhouseholds, schools and health posts, and household latrines being constructed. Our sanitation program isprioritizing assistance for households includingdisabled people, pregnant women or the elderly.

WaterAid's Nicaragua program focuses on the North Atlantic Autonomous Region on theCaribbean 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 dominat-ed by rivers, lagoons and coastal floodplains, the vast majority of the population there - 80% of people - do not have access to safe drinking water, while the lack of access to toilets is even greater.

Water is very important for us, we need it all the time. We learned how to collect the water and how to maintain the rainwater harvesting system. My child is very happy now because he's not affected by pains in his belly.Nasima Khatun, Koyra, Bangladesh

Nasima is pictured collecting water from a rainwater harvesting system built with WaterAid's support in July 2011. Her community was badly affected by Cyclone Aila, which hit the region in 2009.

Empowering womenLiving without safe water and sanitation impacts women and girls the most. Women usually collect water, care for those sick with water-related 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.

It hurts me to hear that about 2,000 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 commu-nities to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene. I am very proud of WaterAid's accomplishments worldwide. It gives me immense pride to be associated with an organization like WaterAid that is making a real difference in our society!Pramod Pillai

Thank you. Your help is transforming livesin 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 as it is based on facts and they don’t try to sugar coat the situation or provide long term goals that cannot be measured or managed against. It is refreshing to see such an honest, straightforward method based on facts and not emotion to what is a very challenging task.David Gilbert




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 andWaterAid is helping that happen.

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 involve the localcommunities. So far we have reached over 15,000 people with clean water, and we are delighted with the results.

Pump aVillage

In late 2011 a team of eighth graders from Windemere Ranch Middle School, San Ramon, CA decided they wanted to make a difference – both in their owncommunity and in communities across Africa that were living without clean water. The Pump a Village Team has raised close to $4,000 with the support of their parents.

Water is the main necessity in life, so we should help.Alison Copus,
