Arup has agreed a long-term partnership agreement with WaterAid to undertake a series of activities around the world. This partnership aims at providing Arup staff with opportunities to be involved in activities such as fundraising, community awareness campaigns as well as actual project work, through pro bono provision of skills and expertise.

Arup supports WaterAid’s vision of a world where everyone has access to safe water and effective sanitation and has begun working together with WaterAid through their offices in the UK, Australia, and the USA. Many cross-working projects are now underway.

These include hands on project support for WaterAid country programmes, support for WaterAid’s new website and intranet, a water-related art competition and a major global fundraising drive around World Water Day on 22 March 2006 to support a rural project in the Dhanusha district of Nepal.
