Water, sanitation and hygiene education are key building blocks for development. go to wateraid website

Yet the international effort on water and sanitation is in disarray. End Water Poverty needs your action to make change happen.

This seems like a good idea, although I am not confident that the goal will be achieved because 40% of the world's population are without proper sanitation, which was about 2.5 billion people I think - so quite a challenge.  But then again, if enough people supported them then who knows?  I think we as a school should offer some support, for example, a non uniform day.  People who have facebook or twitter can help because the End Poverty Website is there on these sites.  I think we could have an assembly on this topic though because not many people seem to be aware of it, I personally have never heard of it in my life before I saw it on the VLE.
