Campaign For a Glass Of Water
Campaign For a Glass Of Water
Since May 2014, various development cooperation organizations Launch Campaign For Glass Of Water, which aims to promote the participation of the population to publicize the importance of access to natural resources (with special emphasis on water) and publicize the difficulties that the lack of water causes women daily, essential agents in the management of the resource.
Under the slogan "For the period of awakening and the time to act, by a Glass of Water" campaign integrates the story of a girl which daily have to cross a river to get water and cover the basic needs of their family. This girl’s only possession is a tree which aims to irrigate with the last glass of water that is the one left of every day, but, going to irrigate the tree the last glass of water drop ...
From this story is influenced that the entire population for this take a tour with a glass of water to take to the child and thus raise massively thousands of people around the world to recognize the situation faced by neediest families and especially women.
