About WaterAid
The Challenge
Charities must use donations responsibly, efficiently and in the way they were intended. This is important in maintaining the trust of donors and to comply with requirements such as the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). WaterAid was outgrowing its original system for managing large grants and track spending, which required manual reporting via Microsoft Excel. Now it needed an intuitive, robust system – accessible globally, even via intermittent Internet connections, and usable in different languages.
