About the organization
WaterAid is an international non-profit organisation with one goal: to change the world through water. Along with decent toilets and good hygiene, a reliable supply of clean water is essential for health, dignity and a life full of opportunity. Childbirth is safer, children get the chance to grow up healthy and strong. Families thrive and whole communities are better prepared for our changing climate and whatever the future holds. We started out in 1981, when UK water companies created a single organisation dedicated to tackling the global water crisis. Today we work alongside communities worldwide setting up entire systems that deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for millions. And we get the people, policies and money in place to keep these systems working – and the water flowing for good. So that people have safe, reliable services that last. Our work with communities, partners, allies and supporters has already meant millions of people can shape their future with dignity and confidence.
Our vision is ‘A world where everyone, everywhere has sustainable and safe water, sanitation and hygiene’.
WaterAid has been working in Nepal since 1987. Our work in Nepal spans across all seven provinces. We team up with local partners, technical experts, governments and communities to support the delivery of integrated and inclusive WASH services in hard-to-reach communities, helping to transform lives.
