Today is blogger action day and we are glad to be supporting this year's theme - water and the fact that it should become a basic human right in developing countries across the world. Today we would encourage people to sign the petition above.
As a water company we work closely with international charity WaterAid to help raise funds to support the fantastic work that they do in developing countries.
In the last decade, Yorkshire Water has raised nearly £4m for WaterAid, the international charity which helps to provide and improve access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation to some of the world’s poorest countries.
Today we want to share with you the fundraising work we have done and the experiences that our colleagues have had when visting some of WaterAid's partner countries.
In 2007 Christina Chinnian,capital efficiency manager at Yorkshire Water went on a WaterAid supporters visit to India visting WaterAid projects and also the slums - a very emotional trip that she captured on her blog. Definitely worth a look
