How it Works
When you donate your status, we’ll tweet on Twitter and/or update your
Facebook status every day during World Water Week—Monday, March
22 through Friday, March 26. You have the option to opt-out at any
time. Please know that your privacy is secure; we don’t have access to
your password or any other personal information.
If you choose, we’ll also add a blue tint to your Twitter avatar. On
Facebook, we’ll upload a new photo so you can make it your profile pic.
At the end of the week, you can change these back or leave them up to
show your support for clean water.
Each day our posts will feature either: a water crisis fact, a story
about people who have received access to clean water, events to
celebrate, or a call for action. All updates have a link back to
oneweekforwater.org to help spread the word.
This site is about celebrating the progress that’s been made in the
global water crisis—and calling for continued action. Over the past 10
years, 200 million people gained access to clean water, but 890 million
people still need it—and more than 2.5 billion people lack access to
safe sanitation.
Let’s make this crisis history! Help us share the news and donate your
voice today.
