UN Targets Marked with New Website and Learning Zone

In the wake of new UN 2015 targets WaterAid launches of a new water and sanitation website with learning zones to help teachers and students at http://www.wateraid.org.uk

For 21 years WaterAid has been helping provide the world's poorest people with safe water and sanitation. With new UN targets set for 2015 WaterAid is launching a new website which will help people find out more about water, sanitation and hygiene promotion - and what WaterAid is doing to help the 1.1 billion people in the world without safe water and 2.4 billion people without adequate sanitation in the 21st century.

The site incorporates a brand new Learn zone ( http://www.wateraid.org.uk/site/learn_zone/ ) with a detailed teachers section broken down into resources for Key Stages 1-4 giving National Curriculum and National Numeracy and Literacy links - making lesson planning easy for teachers.

In addition there is a completely new children's section in the Learn zone with areas for under 11's, 11-14 and 15-18 year olds linking resources to age groups. Young site visitors can now choose to read about the lives of children the same age as them in Africa and Asia and learn how safe water and sanitation changes their lives.
