You may recall that back in December on Human Rights Day we engaged in a petition signing campaign for Article 31. This campaign seeks to add a 31st article to the Declaration of Human Rights and would list the right to clean accessible drinking water as a basic human right.
Well this Wednesday, July 28, the UN will be debating this topic!

The first portion of money raised by Clarkstown has helped fund a drilled borehole well at the Baloua Ecole School in the Central African Republic. Because of Charity Water North the 180 children of Baloua Ecole, and their families, now have access to clean safe drinking water! This will help stop the spread of waterborne disease and keep students in class, rather than walking for water.
