World Water Day – Helping Make the Dream of Clean Water for All a Reality!
On March 22 each year, the world marks an important occasion – World Water Day! This day serves as a reminder to all about just how crucial water is for the well-being of the world, both now and in the future. Right now, about 1 billion people on the planet live each day without clean water, and the negative effects of this are far-reaching. World Water Day seeks to raise awareness of the water problems the world currently faces and to encourage everyone to do what they can so that clean, safe water can be had by all!
