WaterAid is an international not-for-profit, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation. Since we started in 1981, we’ve remained resolutely focused on tackling these three essentials that transform people’s lives. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can break free from poverty, unleash their potential and change their lives for good. Children grow up healthy and strong, women and men start small businesses, whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be. By inspiring people and sparking chain reactions we help deliver lasting change. By working closely with partners internationally and on the ground in some of the toughest places in the world, we have helped millions of people take control of their lives and build better futures. Now we are working to get safe water, decent toilets and good hygiene to everyone, everywhere by 2030. It’s about more than installing taps, toilets, boreholes and wells. To make lasting change happen on a massive scale, we pool knowledge and resources, link policy makers with people on the ground, change attitudes and behaviours, rally support from people and organisations around the world and convince governments to change laws. Together, we will change millions of lives for the better – and change normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation. We strive to be an excellent employer and invest in our people to maximise our impact. We provide a competitive benefits package and a tailored learning and development plan for all employees.

⚠️ The global water crisis is driving food insecurity to an all-time high ⚠️ Confirmed in a new landmark report by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, this crisis threatens millions of lives, risks destabilising global economies – and demands urgent action. Without clean water: 🌽Crops fail 🦠 Infections spread 👧🏽 Women and girls have to walk hours just to survive And climate change is only making this worse. 💦 Water must be prioritised at all levels of governance. We need government leadership, more funding to transform our global water system, and partnerships between governments, donors, the private sector and affected communities to drive action. #WaterCrisis #FoodSecurity #ClimateChange
This morning our work was featured on one of the world's most iconic screens 🤩 'Water Is Coming', produced by Aśka Faron, has been nominated for best Documentary Short at The Big Syn International Film Festival - and was featured in the festival's trailer which premiered in Piccadilly Circus. As if that wasn't enough, a second WaterAid film, 'Before the Dawn' by David Jobanputra is also nominated for best Charity Film! Watch them both online now: https://brnw.ch/21wNR03 #FilmFestival #CharityFilm
Since it's World Statistics Day this weekend, here are some shocking stats about the water crisis... 💦 Almost 10% of people don't have clean water close to home — that's over 700 million! 🚽 Almost 20% don't have a decent toilet of their own — that's 1.5 BILLION. 🧼 Almost 25% of people don't have basic hygiene services, like soap and water to wash their hands at home. Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of life for everyone, everywhere, so it's unacceptable that this still isn't the case. That's why we're working around the world to make sure no one is held back because they don't have these basic human rights 💙 #WorldStatisticsDay #WaterAid #Water #CleanWater #Toilets #Hygiene #HumanRights
Thinking of working in the charity sector? Here are 3 reasons to consider it as your next career move: 1. We spend so much of our time working, why not use that time to drive change and make the world a better place? Finishing each day knowing you’ve contributed towards a positive goal is really motivating and it provides a deep sense of job satisfaction. 2. Not only is job satisfaction generally higher in the charity sector, but many not-for-profits offer competitive benefits packages, including flexible working and generous annual leave. At WaterAid, we invest in our team's wellbeing, offering family-friend allowances, medical cover and wellbeing support. 3. Many charities offer the chance to work in a diverse workplace, where everyone is not only accepted, but embraced.
