Greg Hodkinson serves on the Board of WaterAid America and wants DC area Fellows to know about this important panel discussion on May 12 at the National Press Club held jointly with PATH, a leading international health organization. WaterAid’s mission is to overcome poverty by enabling the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. These two leading NGOs will be releasing reports that explore the actions that the international aid community must take to stop deaths from diarrheal disease.
Diarrheal disease is the second-leading killer of children after acute respiratory infections like pneumonia. With adequate resources and effective implementation of available health, clean water and sanitation solutions, we can save the lives of millions of children right now.
A light breakfast will be provided.
