Today tearfund are launching their new campaign on Water and Sanitation which aims to mobilise the church to help bring sanitation and water to all. Over the next few years they hope we'll join in helping 'justice flow like a river'.
Right now, over a third of the world is still waiting for somewhere safe and decent to go to the loo. While we sit comfortably, millions are suffering needlessly from illnesses caused by poor sanitation.
Later this month, our Secretary of State for International Development, Douglas Alexander MP will be heading out to the United Nations in New York to take part in a crucial meeting looking at progress on the Millennium Development Goals. Water and Sanitation are central to progress on many other issues like child health and education, but too often they have been overlooked, so we can take action to help change that.
Please write to Douglas Alexander urgently to ensure that taps and toilets are talked about. Click here for a template letter. If you want to know more about the issues surrounding the campaign, then click here, while the latest prayer points for the campaign can be found by clicking here.
