The theme for this year’s World Water Day on March 22 is “Leaving No One Behind,” because, today, hundreds of millions of people are still living without safe water – in their households, schools and health care facilities. Marginalized groups – children, women, refugees, people with disabilities and many others – are often overlooked, and sometimes face stigma as they try to access and manage the safe water they desperately need.

We are proud to work with a wide variety of partners to help address the water crisis and below is a sampling of the efforts of some of our key partners this World Water Day. There are lots of ways for you to get involved. Yes you! So please get involved and take action. We can’t solve this crisis without you.
