Women and children fetch unsafe water from a pond, Amuria, Uganda.
Foreword from our President, HRH The Prince of Wales
www.wateraid.org

Around 2,000 children
die every day from diseases caused
by dirty water and poor
sanitation.3Across the developing world, we work with local partners who understand local issues. We provide them with the skills and support they need to help poor communities set up practical and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene projects. Technologies are used that fit the local context and people are trained to maintain them.
Hardware, such as taps and latrines, is always backed up by education about good hygiene, making sure that the health benefits of safe water and sanitation are maximised.
But we cannot solve the water and sanitation crisis on our own. So we use our experience and research to influence governments and other service providers to do more.
The incredible generosity and commitment of all our supporters – individuals, institutions and companies – is behind everything we do.
Without safe water or sanitation, people are trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease. Across the developing world, millions of women are wasting precious time collecting dirty water, children are dying from preventable diarrhoeal diseases, and communities have open sewers running through them.

“I don’t have a latrine in my house, so I go to the bush. It takes 15 minutes to get to the bush, over this bridge. I will be very concerned about my daughter going to the bush because it is dangerous.”Sandimhia Renato, with her daughter Diani, Zambezia, Mozambique.

“I gave birth in my home, with help from the elders. I already had clean water at home. My baby boy has never been to the health clinic, so far he is very healthy. We feel healthy because the water is clean.”Kunana Kenchiata used around 40 litres of safe, clean water during her child’s home birth in Konso, Ethiopia.

Highlights from 2011/12
Schools • We delivered water and sanitation services
in schools, ensuring a healthy learning environment. In Rwanda 1,000 schoolgirls now have access to composting latrines and separate bathrooms for managing menstrual hygiene.
Mapping• Our team in Tanzania worked with the
Government to roll-out our water point mapper in 63 out of the 132 districts. The technology uses global positioning satellites to locate water points and then records the functionality status.
Sustainability• Our new sustainability framework was
completed this year and disseminated to all country programmes. We trained people in local communities to undertake routine maintenance of facilities themselves, while also training handpump mechanics to fix more serious problems with water points across whole districts.
Innovation• We piloted innovative technologies, such as
building a piped water system that uses solar energy for people displaced by flooding in Bangladesh, and a communal underground rainwater harvesting tank in Rwanda.
Equity• We ensured that water, sanitation and hygiene
facilities were accessible to those who often get overlooked, such as older and disabled people, and those in remote locations.
“As a former teacher I know how important toilets can be, especially for younger children. The new latrine blocks will greatly enhance the children’s general welfare as well as giving them privacy.”WaterAid supporter, UK

Our impact: influencing decision-makersHighlights from 2011/12
Global campaign • Our first-ever global campaign – Water
Works – built public pressure ahead of the second high-level meeting of the Sanitation and Water for All partnership in Washington DC in April 2012. The UK Government has pledged to double the number of people it reaches with safe water and sanitation to 60 million by 2015.
Citizen power in Nigeria • In Nigeria, 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.
School facilities in India• In India, 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.
Madagascar Government promise• In Madagascar, 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.
HIV/AIDS in Nepal• In Nepal, we continued to raise awareness of
the importance of safe water and sanitation for people living with HIV/AIDS. This resulted in the Government applying for support from The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to prioritise personal hygiene as a basic component of home-based care.
Sanitation in South Asia• Governments attending the South Asian
Conference on Sanitation recognised the right to sanitation following extensive advocacy by WaterAid and our partners.
“It’s time for our governments to make taps and toilets an urgent priority. They are cheap, effective and simple – and they save innocent lives.”WaterAid supporter, UK

“I am the secretary of the water and sanitation committee for my community. Now in the whole of Dhaka City, all the people know there is a woman, Bashona, she’s a leader. She can talk to any of the leaders, any authority of the Government.”Bashona Sharkar was the one to galvanise her community to successfully lobby the Government to get permission to build a water supply system in her neighbourhood in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
