The water literacy project

Inspire water-positive action in the next generation.

To turn the tide on the way we manage our precious water resources, we need to empower the next generation through education on the value and role of water in our everyday lives.

That’s why, AquaAction is designing a transformational educational campaign to strengthen both the knowledge and action for water security.
