Halma and WaterAid join forces to help tackle the global issue of water accessibility and quality.

Through a two-year campaign, Water for Life, Halma and its operating companies will join forces with WaterAid to build a safe water supply to 8,000 people in Bhagalpur and Buxar, in northeast India, where only 15% and 3% of the population respectively have access to piped water supply in the community, and just 1% of people in both districts have piped water in their homes. 97% of those in Buxar have access to water that is drawn through arsenic-affected shallow pumps, severely impacting the health of the local children.

As part of the partnership, Halma will donate £200,000 to support WaterAid's work in India, as well as its own water quality treatment technology, that will ensure:

- 5,000 people gain access to a safe water supply through the installation of water quality treatment systems.

- 10 villages have community management of operations and maintenance and water quality monitoring with Halma also training community volunteers to maintain and operate the systems.

- 3,000 people have the resources to safely harvest water.
