As the lead Federal agency in natural resource conservation, the US Forest Service provides leadership in the protection, management, and use of the Nation’s forest, rangeland, and aquatic ecosystems.

WaterAid is an international non-profit 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. Childbirth is safer, children
get the chance to grow up healthy and strong. Families thrive and whole communities are better prepared for our changing climate and whatever the future holds.
We started out in 1981, when UK water companies created a single organisation dedicated to tackling the global water crisis.
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. So that people have safe, reliable services that last.
Our work with communities, partners, allies and supporters has already meant millions of people can shape their own future with
dignity and confidence.
To drive lasting change on a global scale and faster than ever, we get others to step up and play their part:
- Partnering with communities to build systems that work for them.
- Connecting policy makers, experts, local partners and communities.
- Innovating, learning, modelling solutions and sharing good practice.
- Changing attitudes and behaviours.
- Rallying support from people and organisations around the world.
- Working with decision makers to scale up investment and accelerate progress.
Together with our partners and supporters, we are working with determination towards the day when we are no longer needed.
