Green Building Store has been selected to supply natural paints for ITV Central's exciting new programme, House Race, which will be screened in July.
It has already helped 8.5 million people gain access to water through low-cost, sustainable projects that use appropriate technology and that can be managed by the community themselves but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Director of Green Building Store, Chris Herring said "We felt that WaterAid was a particularly important charity for us to support, because of the efforts it is making to address the global water crisis".
"In parts of Britain this year, mild droughts have highlighted the fact that most people take it for granted that they have an unlimited supply of safe, clean water".
"It is all too easy for us to forget that there are over a billion people with no access to safe water at all".
Green Building Store donated GBP1025 for WaterAid in 2006, and is hoping to raise more money in 2007, by making a donation with the sale of every water-saving ES4 toilet.
The company is also collecting unwanted mobile phones to send to WaterAid, which can make up to GBP30 per handset depending on the model and condition of the phone.
Green Building Store is encouraging everybody to help support WaterAid, whether by making a donation, getting involved in campaigns and events or just by donating an old mobile phone.
