Thank you, Honourable Minister of Water Development & Sanitation, Mike Mposha, for the opportunity to engage on #unicef collaboration on improving #sanitation and #water to the people (and children) of #Zambia . Sincerely appreciate your guidance and our partnership!

It's ticking away - TIME - and more than ever, we need #ClimateActionNow! “In #Zambia, climate change is defined by water. Too much or too little water can lead to waterborne & vector diseases, drought, floods, food insecurity, & a child rights crisis.” - Chief of WASH Emily Christensen Rand

Essential supplies - including clean water - are rapidly running out in Gaza. A UNICEF-supported desalination plant is providing safe water and UN trucks have entered Gaza with bottled water. But the needs are immense. We need unrestricted humanitarian access throughout Gaza.

This is not a topic I which I feel I am an expert, so I'm really grateful the @CWiwater events are so interactive. I really hope you will all join and share your great ideas with us!
