Sometimes it feels like our voice, alone, isn’t listened to. But when tens of thousands of us get together and campaign for change with one voice it has a powerful impact. Get involved with our campaign and join young people across the world calling for change. We can do it!
Thirst for change
We use water to drink, cook, grow food, stay clean, keep pets and animals, wash clothes and plates, worship, play and do sport. Yet over 884 million people have no clean drinking water and 2.6 billion lack safe sanitation like toilets and sewage systems. Some of the poorest people spend up to eight hours a day collecting water, leaving little time for school, work or play. And much of the water is dirty, posing a big health risk.
As Christians we believe in standing alongside these people to campaign for change. That’s why we’re calling on Prime Minister David Cameron to take the lead at the G8 – a meeting of the world’s most powerful nations – in May 2012, to ensure clean water and safe sanitation for everyone.
