Today, around one billion city-dwellers lack access to safe drinking water, a number the UN
estimates will nearly double by 2050 as more and more people are moving to cities for work
and other opportunities, most of them ending up living in informal settlements without basic
services. Meanwhile the changing climate is making water even more precious. Against this
backdrop, our work has never been more vital.
WSUP is a not-for-profit company, expert at improving water and sanitation services for lowincome, urban communities. We work alongside utilities, entrepreneurs, and communities to
develop and deliver solutions which are affordable for the poor, financially viable for suppliers,
and sustainable for the environment.
We were founded in 2005 in the UK, and currently work in seven countries in sub-Saharan
Africa and Asia (Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Madagascar, Ghana, Zambia, Bangladesh),
supported by a global Secretariat. We are a small organisation, but we have a big impact;
since inception we have helped over 40 million people with improved water, sanitation, and
hygiene services. And we have ambitions to reach many more

common fundamental beliefs and principles that guide us. All our staff are expected to
embody these values in their day to day work and interactions. To learn more about our
