Today the children in my village have a better life compared to the past. Now they can give time to their studies rather than helping their parents collect water. Now we all have more control over our time

WaterAid
WaterAid is a leading independent organisation which enables the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. WaterAid believes that these basic human rights underpin health, education and livelihoods and form the first, essential step in overcoming poverty.
WaterAid works with local partners in Africa, Asia and the Pacific Region and campaigns globally to change policy and practice and ensure water and sanitation’s vital role in reducing poverty is recognised.
WaterAid’s vision is of a world where everyone has access to safe water and sanitation.
Safe water and sanitation are basic human rights. Everyone in the world should have access to them.
We believe that access to safe water and sanitation underpins health, education and livelihoods, and forms the first, essential steps in overcoming poverty.
Our solutions are affordable and sustainable, meaning that the community benefits from their water and sanitation facilities for generations to come.
We hope that members of Girlguiding UK will share this vision and help us change the world this year by singing for change!
Why they want to work with you
In developing countries poor water and sanitation affects the lives of women, young girls and children the most.
The daily task of collecting the family’s water usually falls to women and girls, and the long walk to the nearest water source often leaves little time for education or for spending time with friends and family.
Without access to a safe and private toilet, many women and girls are forced to wait until the cover of darkness to relieve themselves, causing discomfort, embarrassment and the risk of attack.
By Singing for Change, girls in the UK can help change the lives of girls just like them in Nepal – helping them to overcome poverty through life’s most basic things – clean water, close to home and a safe toilet.
