Water for Peace

African In Connected Struggle Against Water Privatization

Every human has a fundamental right to safe water. This universal truth is rooted in the unique role that water plays in the daily lives of people; from the most basic use of water to its broader significance which shapes our socio-cultural needs, including the performance of religious and cultural rites such as ablution, baptism, and traditional festivals centred around the sanctity of water.

When this human right is not fulfilled and protected, people pay the price. People pay with their health, women and girls pay by sacrificing  formal education in order to procure water, and people even pay with their lives. Unfortunately, there is an entire industry that aims to exploit our  water need for  profit only.

Holding hands to protect Africa against corporate capture, the 2023 Africa Week Against Water Privatization will focus on the connected struggles of African communities to actualise their right to water and fend off water privatisers.
