The World Water Day Challenge

On 22 March 2009 we are calling on you to take the World Water Day Challenge. 

The average Australian person uses 285 litres of water a day*. In the developing world the average usage is 10 litres#.

WaterAid's Water Challenge asks Australians to show their support for the basic right of all to have access to clean water by limiting their water usage for a day. By taking the Challenge and matching your use with that of a family in Africa or Asia, you'll help us work for the increased funding needed for safe water and water sanitation programs around the world.

We'll also keep you up to date about how else you can be involved in our international campaigns throughout the year.

Get your family, friends, school or workplace involved! Visit http://support.wateraid.org.au to find out more and register.
