Celebrated since 1996, the theme of this year's World Water Day is “Water for Prosperity and Peace”. As it does every year, the United Nations has published its World Water Development Report. 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water and 115 million of those drink surface water. This document describes how water contributes to prosperity and peace and how poverty, inequality and conflict are exacerbating water insecurity.
Since 2017, CA Egypt has supported the “No Thirst Initiative” association and helped to supply a village in Upper Egypt with water. More than 14,250 homes, or approximately 114,000 people, have already benefited from this work. |
