Water Aid: please email you MP

A Water Works update in April detailed how the International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell MP announced that the UK is to double its targets on water and sanitation. An extra 30 Million people will now be reached by 2015 through UK aid – at least 60 million in total.

Mr Mitchell will be delivering a keynote speech at a meeting being organised by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Water and Sanitation in Developing Countries in the House of Lords, Committee Room 4A, from 11:30 – 12.30 on Tuesday 19 June with contributions from Alice Anukur who is the Country Representative for WaterAid Uganda.

Supporters of WaterAid's work are being asked to encourage their MPs to attend. UK residents can easily do so by following the simple instructions here.
