WATER CRISIS AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
Water connects every aspect of life. Access to safe water and sanitation can quickly turn problems into potential – empowering people with time for school and work, and contributing to improved health for women, children, and families around the world. Today, 1 in 9 people lack access to safe water and 1 in 3 people lack access to a toilet. We can change this. Let’s work together to make the power of water available to all.
