Where We Work and Our Global Impact
The water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) crisis is a global problem, so it’s important we tackle these issues at a global scale. In the last financial year with the outbreak of COVID-19, we saw the crucial role WASH played in responding to the pandemic. WaterAid’s impact extends far beyond Australia and the Asia-Pacific region; we are an international organisation with a presence in 28 countries. All of our federation members, country programs and regional offices are united in their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, the United Nations’ development agenda for building a better world.

Of the 17 goals, we are particularly invested in Goal 6, which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for everyone. One of the benefits of being a global organisation is the way in which we are able to collaborate with one another to maximise our collective impact towards these goals. On this double page, we celebrate some of our global achievements from our last global reporting period (the 2020-2021 financial year) as we get closer to a world where everyone, everywhere has access to the basic human rights they deserve.
