UNIC Warsaw supports and joins nationwide initiatives to improve life of the people in need in developing countries. We gave an honourable patronage over a “Resources for Water” program initiated by the Ecologic Foundation “Arka” in cooperation with the Polish Humanitarian Action. The aim of the programme is to raise awareness of school pupils and teachers on such issues as poverty and lack of water that lead to death - the problems that children and youth of the students' age deal with every day in Africa. The programme mobilizes school students to collect used material and waste, and sell it at recycling centres. The funds are donated to the Polish Humanitarian Action, a non-government organization that will use them to build wells in Sudan.
“Resources for Water” program will be launched on World Water Day 2008 (22 March) and last until December. It is an activity organized to observe the International Year of Sanitation.
