World Water Day

On March 22, 1993, the United Nations founded World Water Day, 24 hours dedicated to spreading the word on the challenges facing global access to clean water.

While most of us have access to clean, safe, drinking water in the U.S., many parts of the undeveloped world still do not. Gaining this basic, human right not only increases the lifespan of villagers, but it increases quality of life. Children who can have clean water can attend school. Children who get their education can get jobs. Jobs provide income, which in turn allows food and medicine to be purchased. Water is a step needed to be successful.
