Our Vision:

A world in which the human right to water, hygienic living conditions, and basic sanitation is a reality for everyone.

Our Mission:

Crises, wars and global injustices force people around the world to live in degrading and health-threatening conditions. We…

• ensure access to clean water and sanitation in order to create a vital foundation for stable and healthy living conditions in the long term.
• promote self-determination in hygiene by building on existing knowledge and developing it further together.
• develop sustainable solutions for waste and wastewater management in order to create healthy living environments and reduce environmental impacts.
• collaborate with partners and local communities on an equal footing to develop solutions that are appropriate to local conditions and strengthen long-term resilience to crises.
• strengthen local structures by empowering people and encouraging them to effectively claim their right to water and to a life of dignity.
• are committed to equal opportunities by removing barriers such as those based on gender.
• design our projects to conserve resources and withstand climate-related challenges in order to protect ecosystems and strengthen the resilience of those most affected by the climate crisis.
• secure access to essential basic services in emergencies and disasters by providing swift and decisive assistance wherever it is needed most.
• raise awareness of global inequalities and sustainability issues through educational programmes that promote lifelong learning.
• use our reach to raise public awareness of the human right to clean drinking water and sanitation.
