This is a good day to remember the 99% and the 1% are the Haves and the Have Mores

On 22 March, people will Walk for Water in The Netherlands and in many countries around the world.

Representatives of the Walking for Water Campaign will also take the floor during the celebrations of World Water Day in The Hague to present the initiative and the success story in the Netherlands over the last 10 years.

They will explain how the younger generation needs to understand what goes on in the world in relation to one of life’s essentials – water. However, understanding the issues is actually only half of the equation. Kids also need to discover that they have the power to do something about it, to create change.


That’s what’s so great about Walking for Water. Equal importance is placed on raising awareness about the issues and on empowering kids to help their peers get access to safe drinking water.

Walking for Water is an awareness and fundraising initiative that helps kids understand what many children their age in developing countries must do every single day to fetch water, often at the expense of being in school.

The concept of Walking for Water was pioneered in the Netherlands by NGO Aqua for All, and has grown in popularity every year since it started in 2003
