This blog is part of the education and outreach efforts of the DC Water for People Committee. Our goal is to provide up to date news and information about water needs in Water For People’s 11 targeted countries, as well as upcoming news about Water For People events, advocacy efforts, and water related happenings around DC.
Water For People, DC is a 100% volunteer committee. We organize various educational events throughout the year to fund raise and spread awareness of global water issues. Recent events include our Third Annual Hike-A-Thon and our 2011 Gala for Women in Water, which raised approximately $80,000 and featured such distinguished speakers as Undersecretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero.
If you are interested in getting involved and supporting solutions to the global water challenge, join us at one of our monthly meetings! We meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm at:
M St. Bar and Grill, 2033 M. Street NW, Washington, DC 20036.
All are welcome to attend.
