FCDE supports #WorldWaterDay by supporting local organizations that implement safe water and sanitation and water access projects!
Billions still lack access to safe water & sanitation, often bc of obstacles like discrimination & poverty. This isn't merely a development emergency, it’s a human rights failure. Let’s overcome exclusion & inequality to achieve the human right to water for all. #WorldWaterDay 💦
