WaterAid Reviews 79

No idea what the truth is, but I was about to give, following the ad, and decided to check reviews. My money remains with me

Several serious impacts of this so called charity operations are firstly, depletion of ground water by over exploitation,resulting in serious salination of remaining water deposits. Secondly wildlife and natural habitats are threatened by lack of surface water. Thirdly just the ethics are crap.........CEO on £125000 PA.

this scam advert should be removed, and the camaraman jailed.

bad adverts , scamers , need to be removed, and jailed

I was stopped of an african girl here in sweden who want me to help to Water AIDS. I asked her if I got to be honest? She said yes. I said I got en Child and it was so diffucult with only one Child , even if I maybe Wanted more, but I could not that I many ways, bevause of health, money and other stuff. But those womans get 10 children and then other countries must help them? Ok let Africa help me if I want more children? She asked if I believed in gud. I said no, I become ateist. She asked why. I said God could help those children and clean Water if he did exist!

WaterAid has to be the most lying charity in existence, why has it not been shut down. They cannot prove how they have "so called" helped 30 million people to obtain water, that's half of the population of the UK. My experience in those sort of places in Africa is, it is a fraud from both sides. WaterAid needs an audit, forensic accounts review, and some proof where these 30 million people are that have been saved from dying of thirst. Trustpilot look at all the reviews.

The ad is so false and misleading
Really shocking

The water aid scam, where’s the new pumps and facilities built with all the money over the years? Child dies every 2 minutes haha what nonsense imagine being that stupid to believe this crap

Sick of seeing this bo**ox on the TV, got enough problems in our own country.

Awful advertising and quite clearly a scam. I would not give them a single penny of my money and the cameraman, Mike Craven-Todd and all of the other people that put their name to this should be ashamed of themselves.

Corrupt charity. Stealing people's money. Taking water out of children's mouths. Somebody shut this sh*tshow down. You all should be embarrassed that 1 man could do what a whole charity couldn't do for years. What a shame.

Another year and another price rise, when will it stop,
( I don't think it will).
Also the annual begging appeal for water aid,
52 MILLION pounds a MONTH,
So where has all the money gone.!!!?.
Directors are on
£75,943 year so yes they need your money to keep coming in to continue their comfortable life style,
Take a look at their bad reviews,

This is a terrible so called charity that is nothing more than a money making business, a begging charity that has multi million pound reserves with extremely rich CEO’s. Their projects have been ongoing for longer than I can remember and STILL they say they need to do more, any other business model would have given up after realising what they propose is undeliverable and pie in the sky thinking.
This business model is nothing more than a money maker that depends on the vulnerability of certain people in society, it needs closing down and any advertising blocked.

We all know this water aid is not washing with the people around the world,come clean water aid.
Just like to say ‘these countries do have resources like gold diamond and other things…”It’s just a case of the selfish rich using the poor to make a lot of work at full price.

Where has all of the money gone their figures don't seem to add up

Sack the management and get British older business volunteers. Audit all the accounts forensically. And review the reality of where all this money went, and ask the question why the target government are not supplying the needs of their children. There are professional film people in South America, who make films of starving actors, who are good actors, and anyone can buy the same films as water aid show, that's another point to think about. The whopping salaries ! I am not sure whether the amount in the balance sheet is multiplied by 000 but is it 26 Million a year? I still believe that charity should start in the home.

A disgusting scam. That a***hole on TV should be arrested.

I stopped giving to WaterAid after they rang me asking me for a donation. I was already giving a monthly donation. This is not a charity but a scam.

Why are people surprised? Most NGO’s big and small work like this!
Thats why I decided to found and run my own NGO. I can control where my money goes……
