WaterAid (www.wateraid.org) is an international non-government organization dedicated exclusively to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the world’s poorest people, specifically in Asia and Africa. “Part of the reason we chose WaterAid is that they do work in Uganda and Ethiopia.
