This World Water Day is about accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis, and action towards the Sustainable Development Goal number 6.

And because water affects us all, we need everyone to take action. That means you! Watch the short animation based on the ancient tale of the hummingbird who is faced with a great fire and, rather than stand and stare, decides to act – trying to put the fire out one drop at a time. The other animals laugh, but she replies, “I’m doing what I can.”

What actions will you take this water day? #BeAHummingbird
