Campaign Mission Statement

Water, that most basic and vital of our resources, is in increasingly shorter supply and greater demand. EDN's "Water For Life" campaign aims to increase awareness and stewardship of local, national, regional and global water resources. Browse through the information below to learn more about how water issues affect people around the world and how you can get involved.

Our campaigns

Water Background - View and download fact sheets to learn more about water and climate change, how water is crucial to human health, what the greatest demands for water are, and issues of water supply and sanitation.

The What's-In-Your-Water Toolkit - Educators, students and community members can get ready for Earth Day by measuring the health of local water resources. EDN has prepared a comprehensive guide to water quality, with suggestions for citizen action from the local to the global scale.

Ten Thirsty Children & Community Water Stories - Our stories of ten children from ten countries around the world highlight the critical issues of water access, health, and usage.
Our Community Water Stories highlight water issues from around the globe, each story presenting a problem and its possible solutions. The goal of EDN's Community Water Stories is to illustrate how communities can overcome water problems through education and action.

Water Portal - Our exciting new project will provide members of the public with the means to support their choice of water projects around the world, helping alleviate water stress and provide sanitation to water-impoverished people. Please check back soon for more information about the launch of this new campaign.
