As a non-profit, WTN focuses on a holistic approach in the use and provision of eco-sanitation, water and the development of sustainable livelihoods.

In its simplest form, WTN provides sanitation and clean drinking water to human beings, and where possible extends the supply of water to livestock, crops and trees. In tandem with the provision of sanitation and water, WTN has responded to the building of houses and community centers in areas stricken by disaster. All projects are approached in the most environmentally sensitive manner possible to further the Trustee’s aim to safeguard the planet. (www.wherevertheneed.org)
