World Water Day 2009

This Mothering Sunday falls on 22 March, United Nations World Water Day, a day to highlight and raise awareness about the global water and sanitation crisis. 

For many mothers in the developing world access to safe water would be the most precious gift.

Why not celebrate Mothering Sunday and UN World Water Day this year by giving your mother a gift that will make a real difference?

You could treat her to a meal in a restaurant that supports WaterAid through the Tap into WaterAid initiative or surprise her with a tap or toolkit from our SH2OP for Life.

Your gift will help mothers and children around the world gain access to life's most basic needs: clean water and effective sanitation.

Get involved this UN World Water Day Restaurants, cafes or bars can support WaterAid by asking customers to make a donation when they order tap water. Encourage your local to get involved this World Water Day! Call 0845 6000 433 for an information pack or visit www.tapintowateraid.org.
