Introduction:
According to the global statics on the water consumption across the globe, Australia
remains the highest consumer of water all of the world, roughly 250 000gl. And with the
looming facts that by world water fact file, that the entire world faces a 40 percent water shortfall
between the forecast demand available supply by the year 2030. Within the next 15 or so years,
the escalating water security situation triggers a relative global food crisis. With such statements,
the Australia is one of the greatest nations to be faced by the problems (Beal, 2015).
Iron Ore billionaire, Forrest, is reported to have called for the harvesting of over 5000
gigalitres of water from the rivers and underground aquifers to drought proof the agricultural
areas and also open up thousands of hectares of new agricultural projects (Council, 2008). This
shows that Australia and its constituent states have a high problem of water in the country.
Agency and Core Mandate
This, in turn, informs the core mandate and the reason for the establishment of
WaterAid, an Australian based non-governmental community-based organization that assist to
supply and offer this basic commodity to the citizens of Australia and more Victoria that has
some very dry arid areas. The Organization is founded on the call; governments should prepare
for the unexpected after short fall of water levels by 2030; we need to recognize the significance
of water security and priories the same in our national security (Van et al, 2012).
Vision: The world where everyone, everywhere has a safe water sanitation and hygiene.

Industry Project: WaterAid
Mission: to transform the lives of the poorest and the most marginalized people by improving
access to safe water, sanitization, and hygiene.
The core values of the agency are Respect, integrity, collaboration, innovation, and
accountability.
Roles and Responsibilities
The group main and primary objective is to provide water and sanitization to people
among the Australian states who are in arid and very dry areas. The agency assists world’s
poorest people to gain access to safe water and good sanitization. In addition to improved
hygiene, education, human rights regarding health and live hoods.
The agency works with other agency such as the IWDA to understand local issues, and
assist in the provision of relevant skills and help the communities to manage and set up
sustainable and viable projects which meet their real needs. A good example is a story done by
the WaterAid in providing water to mothers in collaboration with IWDA.
The agency also works internationally and locally to change policy and the practice and
ensure that water, substantive hygiene’s functional role in the reduction of poverty is recognized.
Logistics for Interviews
In an attempt to get to reach to the company for the interview we shall first send
them an email regarding our interview and outline our agenda as the need to define their role in
ensuring that they execute their role and attain their vision as indicated above there. In the letter
emailed we shall seek an interview and appointment with the management team probably a day
where we can be exposed to various projects that the agency has engaged in. We expect that our

Industry Project: WaterAid
regular interview prior exposure to the organization projects should last at least 2 hours where
we shall have an interactive engagement.
We shall have a questionnaire filled by the management. And which we shall use to
file on our report. After that, we shall be led to various concluded projects, and which we shall
take time to understand their significance, life after and before the projects was in place and the
challenges. We shall also seek to investigate on challenges faced by the team during this work.
Upon completion of the interview, we shall make our donations to the agency to be able to show
commitment to eradicate poverty through proper hygiene sanitation and sustainable water
supply.
Sources of Information for Report
We shall be the first team of scholars who shall be researching the work of WaterAid
and its projects in Australia since its establishment hence we shall not be able to gather a lot of
the literature review of the project. However, we shall use research report on similar agencies
that have been published by scholars on the renowned journals. And in the bid to get credible
information regarding the reports we shall also include key informants, observations,
questionnaire for the research. The information collected from this shall be analyzed
quantitatively and qualitatively so to get a final report.
