It is World Water Day today – Monday 22nd March! Supporting Just a Drop and their #stepstowater campaign, Tracy Corroll and Phillipa Atkinson-Clow at the WHA are wearing blue and each donating £5 to the WHA Just Giving Page.
We will also be tracking our steps this week and donating 1p per step to bring safe water to communities that don’t have basic access to clean, safe water – transforming lives. You can do the same!
The WHA, as part of our 5 for 5 Sustainability Pledge, support the charity Just a Drop and we are working towards our 6th borehole in Zambia.
It’s been a hard 12 months for all of us, however, unbelievably there are still 785 million people globally who do not have access to safe water.
“Steps to Water” is Just a Drop’s annual campaign which ties in with World Water Day on 22nd March.
WHA Members, their friends and families are getting involved and fund raising by Counting Steps, playing Virtual Bingo and running their own Just a Drop Day by wearing blue on World Water Day on 22nd March.
Members are being encouraged to share their support #stepstowater #Worldwaterday in helping to make the world a better place.
Back to school with healthy hydration – research has shown that 6 out of 10 children are thought to arrive at school dehydrated. Even a 1% drop in hydration can affect physical and academic performance – a poor way to start the day! See Why Water Matters for Children.
Schools need to get the water message across – water is a ‘cool’ drink in every sense. Water from a water dispenser is convenient, tastes good and provides a visual reminder to drink healthily. Choose a supplier that is a Member of the Water-dispenser and Hydration Association (WHA). The WHA is the leading trade body which ensures standards of safety and hygiene that are top of the class.
