WaterAid is an international charity with one goal: to change the world through water. Along with decent toilets and good hygiene, a reliable supply of clean water is essential for health, dignity and a life full of opportunity. Today we work alongside communities worldwide setting up entire systems that deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for millions. And we get the people, policies and money in place to keep these systems working – and the water flowing for good.

“Imagine you’re a mum giving birth and you don’t know whether or not there'll be a clean pair of hands to welcome your baby into the world.”

Last week at the World Health Assembly, we urged world leaders to deliver clean water in all health centres, so women can give birth in safety and with dignity.

We won’t stop until every health centre has clean water.

Every two seconds a woman gives birth without access to clean water or hygiene facilities.

Expectant mums around the world dream of their baby’s future, loving them long before they arrive and preparing with care. But depending on where she gives birth, what she packs can mean the difference between survival and comfort.

From razor blades, bleach and plastic sheets to smart phones, breast pumps and cotton wool we’re revealing the deep injustice shaping maternal health globally.

Access to clean water is a right, not a privilege. Women around the world are standing up to demand change.

No woman should fear giving birth because there’s no clean water.

But every two seconds, a woman delivers her baby without clean water, proper toilets or basic hygiene.

This isn’t inevitable – it’s preventable.

Around the world, women are calling for change. And together, we can make sure world leaders hear them and act.

The world isn't listening to mothers - it's time that changed.

Right now, millions of women are giving birth without access to clean water. This looks like:

💧 Midwives forced to deliver babies without washing their hands or cleaning wards between deliveries.
🩸Women left waiting on blood-stained sheets after giving birth
💧Mothers and babies dying from infections that are entirely preventable.

Sensitive topic: This post contains references to pregnancy and childbirth.

Public figures including Laura Whitmore, Adjoa Andoh, Beverley Knight MBE, Giovanna Fletcher, Myleene Klass, Yomi Adegoke, Sandra Igwe, Dr Ranj Singh, Sir Stephen Fry and Sir Mark Rylance are calling on world leaders to act.

Right now, millions of women are being failed by the systems meant to keep them safe during childbirth.

Clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene are not luxuries. They are the foundation of safe healthcare.

Yet too many health care facilities still operate without them, putting mothers, babies and healthcare workers at risk.

This is preventable.
The solutions exist.

Now world leaders must act to deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene in health care facilities everywhere.
