Theme :Better Water, Better Jobs
Water means jobs but how? Water is the essential building block of life. Water is vital for creating jobs and supporting economic, social and human development. It is to give a call for the public to be sensitive to the wastage of water.
Today, half of the world's workers -1.5 billion people work in water-related sectors. Moreover, nearly all jobs, regardless of the sector, depend directly on water. Yet, despite the indelible link between jobs and water, millions of people whose livelihoods depend on water, often not recognized or protected by basic labour rights.
"In 2011, 768 million people did not use an improved source of drinking-water and 2.5 billion people did not use improved sanitation."-United Nations Water
