Millions of women and children spend hours every day walking miles to collect water.
About us
How is End Water Poverty helping end the crisis?
We're a coalition campaign, made up of 185 members in 55 countries. We campaign and advocate to decision makers, the media and other development organisations to take action to end the water and sanitation crisis.
Our aims
- make water and sanitation a higher priority for governments who give aid and for governments in the poorest countries who can raise the availability of sanitation and water to millions more people
- strengthen the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) partnership so that the poorest communities get access to sanitation and water
- campaign for better delivery of sanitation and water through joined policies with health, education and nutrition
Our successes
End Water Poverty was established in 2007, and in its first phase of campaigning successfully lobbied for the establishment of the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) partnership and we've mobilised 1.5 million people to take action.
