- In 2024, the WaterAid NI committee contributed over £170,000 the ‘Flowing Futures’ project for 2024/25, supporting WaterAid’s Strategy Aim 1: achieving universal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in the Bugesera district, Rwanda.
- Building on that success, the committee will support a new project: ‘Agents of Change’, which continues to focus on Aim 1 and the goal of universal WASH access in Bugesera District and also WaterAid’s work on Aim 2 WASH in public health in the Nyamagabe District.
