Water and sanitation

Water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation impact negatively upon food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for people across the world.

590,000people living in Accra, Ghana will receive potable water as we support the city’s water company to meet growing demand for reliable water supplies.

500,000people in Bangkok now benefit from safe water since a multistorey sewage treatment works was built to reduce pollution of the city’s waterways.

We help governments and institutions in rural and urban areas build sustainable water solutions.

As countries develop, cities spread and populations grow; providing safe water and sanitation becomes increasingly complex, especially with climate change impacts accelerating. The demands and needs of urban and rural populations vary greatly – from the high tech infrastructure of megacities to upgrading water supplies in slum dwellings and improving basic sanitation and hygiene in rural areas.
