At #WWWeek, SNV calls for #WaterSecurityForAll
In the ‘world of water,’ this year is all about lifting the hidden, making the invisible visible, seeing the unseen. During World Water Week, SNV will join in intensifying the global call for the world’s leaders to turn their commitment to protect and equitably distribute water resources for people’s health, livelihoods, ecosystems, and production to action.
Catch SNV and partners in one of these sessions. Engage with us and help the sector amplify the urgent need for #WaterSecurityForAll.
