WaterAid is a leading independent organisation which enables the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.
WaterAid's vision is of a world where everyone has access to safe water and sanitation.
We aim to help one million people gain access to water and one million gain access to sanitation every year.
This year, WaterAid once again provided a small army of volunteers.
They were busy supervising our ever-popular VIP latrines and she-pees, providing information about our work, picking up litter, and generally spreading the festival message: Love the farm, leave no trace.

Campaigning
2008 is the UN International Year of Sanitation, so WaterAid encouraged festival-goers to "Love your loo - and help others get one too!" - highlighting the fact that 2.5 billion people still don't have access to clean toilets.
We encouraged revellers to express their love for their loo on our graffiti wall at the WaterAid stand by the Pyramid Stage.
We also gave punters the chance to create a stink and take action by adding their name to the End Water Poverty petition, demanding the G8 agree a global action plan for sanitation and water.

WaterAid also took part in an amazing festival first: a live photo and video blog, updated by hundreds of people on the site via their mobile phones.
2008 is the UN International Year of Sanitation and 22 Nov 2008 is World Toilet Day. The End Water Poverty campaign is calling on the leaders of the developed world to come together and end the global crisis in sanitation and water.
