Many communities around the world do not have access to clean water for drinking and sanitation.
WaterAid is a global charity that aims to give the world’s poorest people access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. Having clean water improves the health and lives of communities and is seen as the first step in overcoming poverty.
Water Is Our Life Blood
WaterAid works with local partners. Providing the necessary skills and support to help communities establish and manage simple, practical and sustainable projects, WaterAid helps improve the general well being of these communities.
The organisation also lobbies to implement and influence policy locally and internationally to ensure that water, sanitation and drainage play a vital role in reducing the risk of flooding, disease and poverty.
Water: A Driver Of Change
As one of Arup’s founding Cause Partners in 2006, we continue to support WaterAid’s work across the region.
The Arup Cause embodies our commitment to ‘shape a better world’ and to bring about positive change through projects and through learning more about the world and its challenges.
It provides an opportunity for our staff to commit their energy and expertise to combating some of the big issues the world faces. The Arup Cause provides a focus for our activity, encouraging and leveraging the individual abilities and contribution of our staff for maximum impact.
For WaterAid, we provide water specialists who work on projects across the world. Our staff also participates in fundraising activities to raise funds for Water Aid programmes.
We use our professional knowledge, skills, time and energy to help ensure that more people have access to clean water and sanitation.
