Our Supporters We have some incredible supporters in our WaterAid community with inspiring stories! Australian adventurer and WaterAid supporter Daniel Bull breaks a new Guinness World Record

Australian adventurer and long-time WaterAid supporter Daniel Bull broke another world record, becoming the first person in the world to swim above a height of 6,000m! Daniel swam 6,370m (20,898.91 ft) above sea level on the highest volcano in the world; Ojos del Salado, in the Andes in South America. Daniel said that despite the intense challenge, he had the added motivation of raising awareness of ‘The Water Crisis’ by supporting WaterAid in their efforts to create a world where everyone, everywhere has access to safe water, a decent toilet and good hygiene. “Water connects every aspect of life and access to clean water can empower and contribute to improved health for people around the world, so to be able to do something extreme like this to support WaterAid and raise awareness for the work they are doing around the world is really important to me,” said Daniel. Daniels efforts raised awareness for WaterAid across multiple media stories and social media coverage.
