Water for Kids' Mission
To improve the health and wellbeing of children and communities in low income countries through the provision of safe water, good sanitation and other related public health measures where current provision is absent or inadequate.
How Water for Kids Began
Water for Kids was set up as a charity in 1996 after two Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) visited Peru as part of a scheme to help eradicate cholera. They were concerned that people in small and less formal settlements needed environmental health services in general and safe water in particular. They looked for a charity which was addressing these issues, but they could not find one. So they set up Water for Kids as a UK charity, rooted in environmental health.
The name 'Water for Kids' was chosen because it is a good description of what the charity does and if the kids have water, so do all the members of the community. The emphasis on kids also suggests an investment in the future.

Elaine Rudman, Trustee, Water for Kids. Elaine qualified as an EHO in 1988 and has spent all of her working life in local government. She currently heads a compliance and regulation service in the North East of England. She was given the opportunity to volunteer in rural Kenya in 2018 with Water for Kids trustees and Environmental Health colleagues, delivering a jointly funded safe water and sanitation project. She loved every minute of the experience and it rekindled her interest in public health and sanitation which originally prompted her to join the environmental health profession. Seeing first hand the challenges faced by communities without access to safe water, and how direct action and community involvement can make a significant difference to the health and wellbeing of children and families inspired her to support Water for Kids and she is honoured to be a trustee.
