Thanks for organising a great day



WaterAid's vision is of a world where everyone has access to safe water
and effective sanitation.


WaterAid's beliefs
WaterAid works in both rural and urban areas, and currently has programmes in
15 countries in
Africa and Asia.  In each project and country the circumstances are different;
however, there
are common features that can be applied to any WaterAid project. In every
project, WaterAid's
response is guided by a set of criteria and beliefs:
Clean water and sanitation are essential for life and all people should
have affordable
access to them

Water, sanitation and hygiene education must be integrated to give
maximum health
benefits

Decision-making must be delegated to local partner organisations and
communities as far
as possible, to avoid dependency and encourage sustainability

Local people must be actively involved in planning, constructing,
managing and
maintaining their own projects

Focus should be on the most vulnerable poor people, especially women and
children

The technologies used should be appropriate and cost effective

The cost per beneficiary should be kept low

Focusing on long-term development is crucial, but WaterAid will endeavour
to respond to
natural disasters and emergency situations in the places where it works

It is appropriate to seek support and approval from local and national
authorities for
WaterAid-funded work
