World Water Day 2008

Saturday 22 March 2008 was World Water Day.

Dine, drink and donate

You can still mark World Water Day 2008 by supporting Tap into WaterAid.

Tap into WaterAid is an inspired way for restaurants, cafés, bars and their customers to help bring water to the 1.1 billion people worldwide who have no access to safe drinking water.

It works simply by restaurants, cafés and bars suggesting customers make a small donation to WaterAid when they request a glass or jug of tap water.
