WaterAid

In Cambridge we have enjoyed the benefit of clean water for more than 150 years.

Currently, one in eight of the world's population do not have access to clean water and 2.5 billion are without access to sanitation.

WaterAid's aim is to overcome poverty by enabling the world's poorest people gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.

Thanks to the generaous support of its customers, employees, stakeholders and local businesses, Cambridge Water has been able to donate many, many thousands of pounds to the charity.

All the money raised goes to help the people of Burkina Faso where only half the population have access to clean water and fewer still - only 12 per cent - have access to sanitation.
