WaterAid | Timor-Leste

58% of people in Timor-Leste have safe water and only 36% have sanitation.

In 2005 WaterAid began work in the new state of Timor-Leste, which has less than one million inhabitants. Here we aim to deliver sustainable, community managed water and sanitation services to rural communities in Aileu District through gravity-fed water systems and pour flush latrines.

We also provide health and hygiene education there and in Baucau, Manatuto and Lautem Districts. Following its 25 year struggle for independence with Indonesia, the Government has been re-building the country's water and sanitation infrastructure. WaterAid is currently identifying needs, potential future partners and projects to enable this vital work to continue.
