Wherever the Need endeavours to alleviate poverty and ill-health, primarily through the implementation of water, sanitation and livelihoods, in a manner that will empower individuals and communities without undermining their tradition and culture. Wherever possible, it works on projects that are naturally sustainable, and implements them in an environmentally friendly way using materials that will not damage the planet.
