DUBAI, 22nd March, 2023 (WAM) — On the occasion of World Water Day, the International Humanitarian City in Dubai, in collaboration with its community, organised a round table aimed at raising awareness of the need to ensure access to clean and safe water for all people around the world, and the efforts deployed by the international humanitarian community in this regard.
“Climate change is impacting the availability of safe water sources for millions of people around the world, and this underscores the urgent need for collaborative action to ensure access to clean and safe water for all,” said Giuseppe Saba, CEO of International Humanitarian City.
”We are proud to highlight today the impactful work of our member organisations in addressing this critical issue, and to encourage further cooperation in the humanitarian and development action, on the road to COP28,” he added.
The event brought together three leading water NGOs that are part of IHC community in Dubai, focusing on sustainable access to safe water for communities in need. Project Maji, Surge for Water and The Water Project each presented their respective missions and impact. The audience also heard directly from country teams on the ground in Kenya reporting on what safe water delivery looks like in real life, and the challenges ahead.
Project Maji, Surge for Water, and The Water Project are three international NGOs that are making a significant impact in the field of safe water delivery. Each organisation brings unique expertise and experience to the table, and attendees of the event were able to learn from their successes and challenges.
