Caring and sharing for water: The voice of Africa A GLOBAL CONFERENCE in partnership with the 2017 WESSA AGM

In 2015, at a prestigious ceremony in New York, WESSA was the recipient of the United Nations ‘Water is Life’ award for best practices in water education. In particular, our joint environmental education project with the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS), was the highlighted project for which the award was given. Through this WESSA/DWS water education project, young people from all over South Africa are encouraged to build their understanding of water issues including water quality, quantity and access issues.
