More than 740 million people are still living without safe, clean water

Before WaterAid started working in Lamidamar, Nepal, the community’s only water source was a nearby river and very few houses had a toilet. A new gravity flow system bringing clean water to the village means children like Dommor and his family now have safe water to drink and wash with and all 132 houses have their own toilet.

Last year we reached 2.9 million with improved toilets
