Since the launch of the Claim Your Water Rights campaign in December 2019, VAREN has engaged duty-bearers and rights-holders to work together for the common good of humanity. In the advent of Covid-19 we escalated our efforts to support and mobilise children and community gatekeepers to demand their water rights from duty-bearers.

The launch of the Claim Your Water Rights campaign by Vision Africa Regional Network (VAREN) with support from End Water Poverty (EWP) triggered a rural community in Mansa, Zambia, to take action and demand their rights to water.

To achieve universal access to safe water and sanitation by 2030 we must build strong community-based advocacy and allow the people whose access is violated to demand their rights. The time to act is now. 

End Water Poverty member, Vision Africa Regional Network (VAREN) collects 10,000 signatures in a petition to government during Water Action Month in March: governments, keep your promises!
