Clean Water For The First Time

When a community gets clean water for the first time, it creates a powerful ripple, saving lives and improving people’s health, education and livelihoods. That’s the water effect.

Donate your unwanted car with Giveacar and support WaterAid in their mission to provide clean water to all.

Today, one in nine people around the world don’t have clean water close to home. This is a deadly crisis, killing another child every two minutes. It shouldn’t be normal.

Without clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, people can’t stay healthy. Children are frequently sick and miss school. And parents are too ill, or busy caring for their families, to work.

Women and girls are particularly affected, usually responsible for collecting dirty water. Water from ponds, streams or rivers that is often far away and dangerous to reach, robbing them of precious time. And without a private toilet and somewhere to wash, they face indignity, ill health and danger – especially when on their period or when pregnant.

Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene change everything. Mothers can give birth more safely. Children have the opportunity to go to school and grow into healthy adults. And parents can work to support themselves and their families.

We make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal in 28 countries around the world every day. Installing taps and toilets is essential, but we need to do so much more to reach everyone, everywhere. To make a bigger, lasting difference:

–           demand action and accountability from governments;

–           link communities with policy makers;

–           change attitudes and behaviour;

–           work with others to pool knowledge and resources;

–           and rally support from people and organisations around the world.

Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. Three normal things that create real change. Change that sticks, for good.

Our supporters and partners have already achieved so much.
