One of Glastonbury's main charities, WaterAid, say they are "delighted" to back at the festival in 2007 and they're raring to go after the year away... WaterAid's friendly volunteers will be back helping to look after the water and toilet needs of the festival goers - two of life’s little luxuries that are all too easily taken for granted. The infamous toilet, tap and poo costumes (the latter pictured here with the Scissor Siters in 2004) will be back again, drawing attention to the charity.

Be sure to visit the WaterAid African Pit Latrines, the cleanest toilets on site, in the Kings Meadow (near the Stone Circle) and stop by the WaterAid stand at the Pyramid stage for a refreshing drink of water, to find out how you can End Water Poverty and check out more on Michael and Emily Eavis’s recent trip to WaterAid’s projects in Mozambique.

This year at the festival wherever you see a WaterAid volunteer you’ll be able to pledge your support for WaterAid’s campaign to End Water Poverty. The campaign aims to create public pressure and demand governments provide sanitation and water for the world’s poorest people.

End Water Poverty is calling for:

• One global action plan for sanitation and water monitored by one global task force
• 70% of aid money for sanitation and water to be targeted at the poorest countries
• Water resources to be protected and shared equitably

This year at the festival WaterAid will be asking you to pledge your support for water resources to be protected and shared equitably. The survival of millions of people depends on the careful management of water resources and on making sure they are shared equitably.
