About us
Water East Timor (WET) is a group of people with a commitment to providing clean water and sanitation systems to rural villages in Timor-Leste. Over the past 15 years, WET has funded a number of projects that have changed the lives of villagers. With the support of small teams of local tradespeople and the Warrnambool East Rotary Club, WET has been able to teach Timorese rural communities the skills to construct, implement and maintain water systems. We have individuals and service groups who work in partnership to donate money, time and expertise to fund the water systems. WET has been a registered charity since 2013.

About Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste (formerly known as East Timor) is one of Australia's nearest neighbours and amongst the poorest nations in the world. Despite the significant commitments from Australia and other donor countries, Timor-Leste is still facing serious deficiencies in health care, nutrition and sanitation. Many of the serious illnesses that confront the people of Timor-Leste are due to unsafe or inadequate supplies of running water. WET is one of many organisations that are working to improve the lives of Timorese through clean water projects. |
