LA GIORNATA DELL’ACQUA: celebriamola ogni giorno
World Water Day
The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro. This site started in 2001 as a community space and repository where people can upload their WWD event activities and reports.
Every year, the United Nations designates March 22 as World Water Day to highlight global safe water and sanitation issues around the world. We’re proud to join a diverse coalition of water, sanitation, hygiene and health organizations taking part in World Water Day 2011. LEGGI TUTTO
Today, our members in Japan are working to provide clean water to victims of the earthquake and tsunami. But, clean water is also a matter of life and death in many other communities. One of every eight people in the world lacks safe drinking water. Forty percent of people lack adequate sanitation. And more than 4,000 children in developing countries die every day because they don’t have clean water.
Lions have been working to provide clean water and sanitation for many years. Our members are making a difference in the worldwide water crisis by installing water purification systems in schools in India. Constructing more than 1.3 million latrines. And providing thousands of clean water wells through 148 LCIF water projects.
If I think how much water is important in every modern house, i think also how much it is important in places and for people in difficult way of life. The work of Lions providing clean water in Japan and around the world is extraordinary and World Water Day should be celebrated more and more. Thinking to have trouble water in taps is a nightmare! L.C. Agrigento Chiaramonte’ll spread the meaning of this day so important for health and life. Every day is good to celebrate it!
