World Water Day 2022
World Water Day is an annual United Nations Observance that celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2 billion people currently living without access to safe water. As climate change worsens, access to safe and clean water will become more and more critical.
Our service and learning around water-justice highlights kavod ha’briyot, preciousness of each human, with deepening understanding of the value of water to individuals as well as the greater community. We need to work together to sustainably manage this precious resource. Join us in service and reflection around water access and conservation!
