WaterAid - Tyler West

Tyler West – presenter and Strictly Come Dancing star – has become WaterAid’s newest Ambassador after returning from an inspiring trip to Zambia to see how clean water and decent toilets can change lives for good.

In Zambia, almost a third of people have no clean water close to home, and the climate crisis is making the situation worse. The dry seasons are becoming more prolonged and drying up springs, while the rainy seasons are more extreme, making the walk for water more difficult and dangerous.

Tyler met families and schoolchildren who spoke about the devastating impact a lack of clean water and decent sanitation has on their health, education and livelihoods. He also visited communities and schools where WaterAid has worked to help bring clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene. He heard about the difference these three essentials can make and how they can help people build resilience to the changing climate.
