World Water Day

“Without water, there is no life, not just for humans, but for any other organisms on this planet. 

Water is also one of the most fundamental ways in which human health can be imperilled.” 

- Dr Lachlan McIver, MSF tropical diseases and planetary health advisor 

Did you know that our partner, Médecins Sans Frontières - Doctors without Borders (MSF) could not do what they do without access to clean water?  

Water is not just essential for life, it is vital for the teams to deliver medical aid – from cleaning wounds, to performing surgeries, and delivering intravenous medicines.  

When MSF launches a response, one of the first teams to go in are the water sanitation specialists. They are responsible for sourcing access to clean water – whether it is digging and connecting village pumps or arranging for the transportation of water into the area.  

As Hansen globally ‘Marches Forward’ we are encouraging teams around the Hansen world to consider how you can deliver an Act of Impact that raises funds for MSF to support them in helping secure clean water for projects they are involved in right now.  

It might be a baking stall, it might be a swap and sell, or you might arrange a team event where everyone donates an amount as part of the initiative.  

Donations can either be made directly via the Hansen global MSF Fundraising page, or you can donate to your local MSF – just be sure to keep Megan and Mahima across your AOI and the amount raised. 

This World Water Day let’s all help MSF support vulnerable communities to March Forward towards a more positive future. 

Everyone has a right to clean water. That’s why we are urgently asking for your support to ensure families have access to medical and humanitarian care, including clean, safe water, no matter where they live.   

 $30 could provide 1 jerrycan used by refugees to transport and store clean drinking water
