Always welcome gift

If you are still stuck on what to buy for Christmas, how about a gift of water for life instead of an unwanted present?

Many of us take water for granted, often joking about the weather and rain in particular.

It is no joke for the world’s poorest people who have no access to safe water, sanitation or hygiene. This crisis is ruining lives and holding back development.

WaterAid's mission is to transform the lives of the poorest and most

marginalised people by improving access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene.

There are 844 million people living without clean water and 2.3 billion people who do not have a decent toilet.

A gift of clean water would make their Christmas happy too.
