WSP Supports Water For People, Valuing Water Access for All

Acting as a change agent in the field with its 6,500+ water professionals globally, WSP is proud to continue to support Water For People, an international non-profit organization that promotes the development of high-quality drinking water and sanitation services, accessible to all. This aligns well with WSP’s 2021 ESG Report, which establishes UN Sustainable Development Goal 6 as a priority—access to clean water and sanitation for all. 

Water For People provides a natural platform for WSP to bring our passion and our expertise together in a meaningful way. This year, the USA, Canada, the UK, the Middle East and New Zealand are leading the initiative with an impressive line-up of awareness-building and fundraising activities that will complement the corporate commitment. 


WSP is building a strong network of champions who believe in Water For People’s mission and will help support it throughout the year. To raise awareness, they have committed to sharing share their personal experiences related to what motivated them to work in the field and how the projects they are involved in help the communities they serve. Here is a selection of testimonials that illustrate how much water is an integral part of our work and why we care:

"Clean water is the basis of our world and I have spent my career working to help clients protect and enhance natural water quality. Water For People’s mission of working to ensure everyone has safe drinking water is near and dear to my heart.  I am exciting that WSP is collaborating with Water for People!" - Kristina Hysler, WSP in the USA

"I was inspired to work on water projects whilst studying a unit in International Development at university. It showed me how fundamental water is to our daily lives and what power and strength it can have. I wanted to help harness this energy in a positive way to support communities in the future." - Phoebe Clayson-Lavelle, WSP in the UK  

"Water is essential for healthy ecosystems, socioeconomic development, and human survival, making it the backbone of sustainable development. Hence, being a member of the WSP water team allows me to personally contribute to the management of a limited and irreplaceable resource that is essential to humanity." - Amani Zaher, WSP in the Middle East

"What we do today matters for tomorrow. I am working in the water industry because it gives the grand opportunity to show up and carry out work with the ultimate goal of sustaining and bettering the health of the taiao (natural world/environment) and people for those of tomorrow." - Alyce Lysaght, WSP in New Zealand 

WSP is also helping support Water For People to have a strong presence at the American Water Works Association’s event ACE, June 11-14, 2023 in Toronto, Canada, and the Water Environment Federation's Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC), September 30-October 4, 2023, in Chicago, USA.
