End Water Poverty

End Water Poverty

End Water Poverty is an international campaign calling for sanitation and potable water for all.

On 12 May 2007, hundreds of people marched in the name of the End Water Poverty campaign from Vauxhall to No.10 Downing Street carrying a ‘river’ of blue knitted squares, knitted and sent in by thousands of volunteers from all over the world. The river measured 250 metres long and consisted of 100,000 squares. [http://www.share-international.org/magazine/old_issues/2007/july_07.htm]
