Attend the U.S. WASH Session

Join Water For People at "Closing the U.S. Water and Sanitation Gap: Moving from Awareness to Action" on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 8:30 - 10 AM.

This session focuses on the communities in the U.S. who do not have access to water and sanitation and the new National Roadmap to Close the U.S. Water Gap. We will learn about the Roadmap and hear a utility case study on how they are tackling the issue. Attendees will be able to examine the issues and solutions with invited guests from Dig Deep, Water For People, Moonshot, and Water Environment Federation. The session will close with breakout sessions where we will explore how we, the water community, can be part of the solution – considering no- or low-effort opportunities and the role of WEF.

The Robert W. Hite Award is given annually to an outstanding Water For People Champion who dedicates their time and energy to help end the global water crisis. Join us at the WEF Presidential Award Ceremony on Monday evening, Sept. 28, for the announcement of this year's winner.

Participate in the World Water Classic

Women in sub-Saharan Africa walk an average of 6k per day to get water for their daily use. You can participate in the World Water Classic between October 2-11 to change that. Register online for a 6k walk/run, 60k bike ride or get creative to move however you'd like. Your participation helps end walking for water.
