World Water Day

Today is the 14th United Nations world water day, and with many parts of the South East of England on alert about low water resovouir levels, it is time we reflect on our use of this natural resource as well as think of those in countries where water is not a luxury.

This World Water Day, WaterAid is encouraging people to take a minute to consider the 1.1 billion people who do not have access to clean, safe water. During the course of that minute, four children will have died of water-related-diseases. This is not inevitable and it certainly isn't acceptable.

WaterAid are asking for help to change the lives of millions of people who lack access to clean water and sanitation. Visit their website for details of their work and how you can help.
