WHAT'S INVOLVED?

The World Water Day Challenge

Water sanitation
Get your family, friends, school or work place involved

The average Australian person uses 285 litres of water a day. In the developing world the average usage is 10 litres.

WaterAid’s Water Challenge asks Australians to show their support for this basic right by limiting their water usage for a day to closely match a family’s usage in Africa or Asia. By doing the challenge you are showing support for our work for increased funding for safe water and water sanitation programs around the world. We’ll also keep you up to date about how else you can be involved in our international campaigns throughout the year.
