Water for all
Every 15 seconds, somewhere in the world, a child dies from a water-related disease. And, across the developing world over a billion people do not have access to clean water.
With water privatisation clearly failing to tackle the water crisis, the question we need to ask is how do we get all these people connected to water?
WDM believes that developing strong public utilities that work for people not private profit is the way forward, and is calling on the UK government to take action.
This action is now closed.
Campaign success - You have helped to make a real difference!
On the eve of World Water Day, Hilary Benn announced that the UK government would support the development of public-public partnerships in the water sector.
This is a real success. Ninety per cent of piped water supplies are managed by public providers and they desperately need support.
This time last year, the UK government had probably not even heard of public-public partnerships. Now, thanks to thousands of people campaigning on this issue we have created a policy shift that we hope will make a real difference on the ground.
Thank you for taking action.
