Clean water is something most of us take for granted, but over a billion people in the world do not have access to it and over two and a half billion people lack basic sanitation. Every 15 seconds a child dies from water-related diseases as a result.

WaterAid is dedicated exclusively to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the world's poorest people. It was established in 1981 and, to date, has helped over eight million people. It currently works in 15 countries in Africa and Asia.
WaterAid projects giving safe water, sanitation and hygiene education cost around £15 or 23 euro per head. Can you think of a better way to make a difference?

Through the aquaplastics website, WaterAid and the European plastics industry are working together to help tackle this huge problem. Every day you click on this site, the European plastics industry will donate 10 cents to help WaterAid deliver clean, safe water and sanitation to people in Ethiopia. If we reach 1.5 million clicks by 22 June 2005 then a total of 150,000 euro will be donated to WaterAid.
Ethiopia is one of the poorest and driest countries in the world. A staggering 76% of the population does not have access to safe water supplies and 88% are without access to adequate sanitation. This, compounded by a limited health service means water, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases are rife and infant mortality is extremely high.
