Water Matters is a campaign to ensure that everyone has access
to safe water and adequate sanitation. The UK Prime Minister
will attend the UN Earth Summit in 2002; water and sanitation
issues must be high on the agenda!
Tearfund and WaterAid have launched a nationwide campaign
to highlight the global water crisis in which two out of every
three people in the world will face water shortages by 2025.
The Water Matters campaign aims to put pressure on global
leaders at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in
2002 and calls on them to take urgent action on behalf of
the one billion people who lack access to a safe water supply
and the 2.4 billion people who do not have access to adequate
sanitation.
