WaterAid | Nepal

In Nepal 90% of people have access to safe water but only 35% have access to sanitation.

WaterAid began work in Nepal in 1986 and promotes appropriate, low-cost and sustainable technologies across the country, from traditional wells and tubewells in the flat, fertile Terai to gravity-flow piped supplies in the steep foothills and mountains of the Himalayas.

We are helping communities demand water and sanitation from service providers and our work in influencing policies means that around 175,000 people in the Kathmandu valley will benefit from a significant reduction in the water connection charge.

WaterAid is expanding its urban projects to meet the rapidly increasing need for water and sanitation in towns and cities and we will continue to lobby for more and better financing, with special emphasis on sanitation.
