Dirty aid, dirty water
British aid money is being used to push water privatisation on poor countries. As poor people lose out on clean water, big UK companies profit from this aid. Over a billion people worldwide cannot reach or afford clean water. The result is over 2 million people, mainly children, dying every year because they only have unclean water to drink.
