WaterAid Reviews 79

Water aid? Considering these adverts have been running for years you'd think by know they would of scrounged enough money to help millions of lives, the general public aren't stupid, stop scrounging full stop

if I could give this advert a 0 I would. The plonker who narrates it says they have no choice , they do have a choice stop making babies . Stop begging. if they are human they should learn that if the infrastructure is not there to support kids don't make them. But it's a white supremist thing, they want to show that white people are rich and will still look after peoples of Africa which is richer than the UK any day of the week. Using children to exploit in begging adverts. Its not the Whole of africa , they are responsible for maintaining their country. The money does not get there , too much corruption.

I met a man in my line of work who goes to countries to get them water pumps installed....his uncle a doctor pays for it at a cost of £400 to get a small town water ..I'm not sure what this company spends it's money on.im.getting sick and tired of money spent on UK advertising to get money to spend it abroad and for salaries. Anyone know of a charity abroad that helps UK people who also suffer ?

40+ years of this charity taking hundreds of millions upon millions of pounds and still we see the same adverts on tv telling us the same stuff.
I mean what have they been doing for the last 40 years with the money raised? When manager is paid £120'000 wage how is this classed as a charity? Its one big con tugging on good peoples heart strings.

Absolutely disgusting that they are allowed to continue as a charity. They are a business who use the proceeds to fund a lifestyle. With the CEO on a 6 figure salary as with all charity’s. They have never ever stepped foot in Africa or observed what’s going on. I have opened a petition on Downing Street to stop these charities. Please sign.

What a pack of scam artists !!! Uncontactable if you want to cancel your donations, they just keep taking the money until you close your bank account. Small percentage of funds go to Wateraid projects [and newsletters], the rest is "business costs." If you want to make a significant difference with your donations, choose another "Charity."

Disgusted to find out that their offices are in Canary Warf and rent at approximately £30,000 a month! Completely unnecessary.

Scam! And also THEY DO HAVE A CHOICE! Move closer to the well!

Advertisement on TV Enoch is still 2, after 35 years or so.
Disgusting how they get away with it.

ITS A BUSINESS NOT A CHARITY!
If you want to help poverty, start by researching.
Realize buying and eating fish is causing poverty. Eating animal products is consuming more water than we imagine.
Water is being used for livestock animals before the people (also causing poverty) and mostly everybodys money is given to the wrong businesses.
If you really want to help people over the world who don't have water then try NGO organisations. They're very genuine and you get the choice to join and actually help them in other countries.

It’s one of the biggest financial scams around, their claims on their fake ads are absurd, their claims are not recognized by any country “ receiving” help, the countries that they claim to work in use foreign aid to provide infrastructure which is monitored by the World Health Organization and have no such water issues or see a health crisis of children dying at one every couple of minutes. Save your money, your only making scammers richer. Maybe this fake organization would like to publish its accounts and show the completed installations they’ve done, and I’m not talking about putting a new tap on an existing potable water pipe.

The CEO earns £128.000 a year, and they call this a charity, seems like a big scam to me ,charity begins at home folks ,

Maybe you should show installations completed and those countries. Not just putting tragic adverts on tv. Birthrate Africa 1 every 26 sec.

The chairman's on £128, 000 per year . To help people abroad whilst their Governments buy arms . Yet in UK we have food banks and fuel poverty. Charity begins at home .

Their CEO earns over £120000 per year , they have millions and millions worth of assets, they are a business not a charity, do not give them your money.

Why show out dated adds biggest con out there

the water turned my god dam pee white and creamy.
me wife left me! f u wateraid!

Where is all the money going? You've been collecting millions and millions for years and years and fail to actually solve anything. TOTAL SCAM DONT DONATE TO THIS CHARITY.

Astounded to receive this with my water bill, from a company whose annual profits could cover the total they are asking for. There is a global commodification of water, turning it from a necessity of life into something people have to pay for. Here in the UK there is a regional monopoly of water provision and it is illegal to capture and purify your own domestic water from rainwater. This is a case of gaslighting pure and simple, trying to shift the blame, guilt and expense of global water redistribution to big profit-driven business corporations onto us the captive consumers. Shameful and unacceptable! Sending the pamphlet back to my water co's headquarters in the post suggesting they take donation from their shareholders and directors, not us.

I have been donating to this cause for nearly fifty years nothing changes or gets better they must have received many many millions over the years where is all this money going just another scam and opportunity to line others pockets very sad 😥
