🌊 Join the Movement for World Water Day! 🌍 If you haven't already heard, today is World Water Day. This day aims to raise awareness of the importance of water and the need to conserve it. Every drop saved today will benefit future generations and provide clean drinking water for those who currently lack access to it. Here are five key insights: 1️⃣ Estimated 780 million people lack clean water. Nearly a billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. It's time to address this fundamental injustice. 2️⃣ Infrastructure in crisis: ageing water systems demand immediate attention. From pipes to dams, we must invest in modernisation to secure our water future. 3️⃣ Rising global demand: Population growth and changing lifestyles are driving water demand to unprecedented levels. Sustainable solutions are imperative. 4️⃣ Projected shortages by 2050: Without intervention, a quarter of the world could face water scarcity by 2050. We must act now to avert this crisis. 5️⃣ Human toll: Tragically, every minute, a newborn succumbs to water-related infections. This is a preventable and just disheartening situation to hear. Amidst these challenges, one organisation is helping to solve them and I also believe in there cause – Planet Water Foundation shines as a beacon of hope. They've impacted millions by providing clean water across 28 countries. 🤝 How can you also help?

There is no sense in arguing if any one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are more important to address than another. There are times, however, when one is exposed to an issue where the urgency to address a particular goal becomes extremely acute. Sustainable Development Goal 6 seeks to ensure access to water and sanitation for all. Safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is fundamental for health and wellbeing including (but not limited to) improving health, enabling gender quality and increasing access to education. Water is essential and cannot be taken for granted. At the African Potential Group we fully support water.org and its efforts to unlock more funding to solve our planet’s water crisis.

🌵 Cacto is passionate about reducing water deprivation. We are proud to support the inspiring work of Water.org 🚰 that help families around the world get access to safe water and sanitation. Prickly pears have evolved in arid climates consuming small amounts of rainwater. Approximately 42% of the world’s land area is classified as semi-arid or arid land. In fact, research, which took place in Logandale, Nevada, ‘Showed that Opuntia Ficus-indica (Prickly Pear) had high fruit production while using up to 80% less water than some traditional crops. Additionally, the plant works as a land-based carbon sink, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to store it in a sustainable way.’ (Nevada Today, 2021). Inspired by our core ingredient and the heart of our business, we will donate 5% of our Net Profits to Water.org. to provide safe water and sanitation to families around the world. 🌍 Discover more about how we can help: https://lnkd.in/dZpJcgX

Did you know that 2.2 billion people still live without safely managed drinking water and roughly half of the world’s population is experiencing severe water scarcity for at least part of the year? The United Nations' World Water Day 2024 is this week and calling for ‘Water for Peace’. In their own words the UN said: "When we cooperate on water, we create a positive ripple effect – fostering harmony, generating prosperity and building resilience to shared challenges. "We must act upon the realisation that water is not only a resource to be used and competed over – it is a human right, intrinsic to every aspect of life. This World Water Day, we all need to unite around water and use water for peace, laying the foundations of a more stable and prosperous tomorrow."

Are we doing this wrong? We're cleaning beaches because it's a necessary response. We mobilize volunteers and together we create change at the source. 👉 We have waste management projects to reduce trash that could potentially flow into the ocean. 👉 We work on new laws to stop smoking on the beach. 100% of baby turtles have plastics like sigarete butts in their bellies. 👉 We have underwater cleanups to help coral grow strong and resilience. 👉 We have mangrove cleanups which helps grow fish population, so locals maintain their source of income. 👉 We plant new trees so less fertile soil washes away. 👉 We run composting programs to reduce domestic waste and create fertile soil for our trees. 👉 We work together with other NGO's and help them grow and expand their positive impact. 👉 We educate at (high) schools to show people what they can do now to regenerate their own land. 👉 We run CSR programs so local companies help revitalize their own nation. 👉 and much more. The list goes on. Then someone DOESN'T want to donate because 'it's unclear where the money goes.' Ah. Are we doing it wrong then? Should we limit what we do so it is easier to understand? Thoughts?
