It is a new initiative, but Water 1st International's Bangladesh partner organization (DSK) is part of a steering group planning activities and lobbying governments to help achieve the end of water poverty. You can help too. Send a message demanding that the G8 commit to a global action plan for water and sanitation. Take Action Now.
