WaterAid works with local partners, who understand local issues, and provides them with the skills and support to help communities set up and manage practical and sustainable projects that meet their real needs. They also work locally and internationally to change policy and practice and ensure that water, hygiene, and sanitation’s vital role in reducing poverty is recognized.
