Water Aid is a charity I fully support, because of its incredible work throughout the world. Occasionally, you will find links to products on amazon. A small percentage of the sale of any goods I promote comes to me. I use this money to help pay towards the hosting of this site (the sewage guy). I donate all extra proceeds from amazon affiliates to Water Aid. You, the reader of the sewage guy do not pay extra for products because of this.
Water Aid do amazing work throughout the world, this is imperative given the scarcity of water in the poorest nations. Whilst my primary goal is to help clean up the Environment in the UK, and help consumers to access unbiased information, it has always been a goal to help water aid.
