About WaterAid at Texas State University:

As the local Texas State chapter of WaterAid we are committed to supporting the global mission of WaterAid but most importantly taking action locally to protect and conserve our own precious water resources. We will accomplish this by volunteering our time and efforts to community activites such as river clean-ups and invasive species removal, as well as spreading awareness of the importance of protecting our water.

About WaterAid International:

Vision:

WaterAid's vision is of a world where everyone has access to safe water and sanitation.

Mission:

WaterAid transforms lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in the world's poorest communities. We work with partners and influence decision-makers to maximize our impact.

What they do:

WaterAid enables the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water and sanitation. Together with improved hygiene, these basic human rights underpin health, education and livelihoods, forming the first essential step in overcoming poverty.

We work with local partners, who understand local issues, and provide them with the skills and support to help communities set up and manage practical and sustainable projects that meet their real needs.

We also work locally and internationally to change policy and practice and ensure that water, hygiene and sanitation's vital role in reducing poverty is recognized.
