Plan Canada Marks World Water Day
Emphasizes Importance of Clean Water for Everyone
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/22/13 -- On , Plan Canada recognizes the importance of access to clean and safe water for all people.
As one of the world's oldest and largest international development agencies, Plan works in 69 countries to improve the lives of children and their families and to reduce global poverty. A key focus of that work includes water and sanitation projects.
More than 2.2 million children die every year - that's four every minute - as a result of diarrhea caused by poor sanitation and hygiene. Plan works with communities to improve access to and to raise awareness of the importance of waste management. Every year, Plan helps communities build 2,000 and in the last three years has helped families and communities build an average 100,000 toilets per year, benefiting several million people around the world.
Many Canadians are doing their part to support Plan's water and sanitation projects including, Al Hansen, who climbed the 23,000 feet tall Mt. Aconcagua to raise money for a water project in Bolivia. Read more about Al's story here: .
