UNICEFs new social marketing campaign - selling bottles of "diseased" water (clean water but labeled "Malaria", etc) in New York City. Is this really happening? If so, I hope that those who purchase these bottles are aware of the effects of these diseases and are not making light of these very serious conditions. Cholera, Dysentary, Dengue...none of these is a favorite flavor and those who take it for granted that their drinking water is clean need to be reminded of how lucky they are. Lack of access to clean water and the resulting disease and death affect nearly a billion people worldwide. IIRR works to address these and other natural resource management  and community health issues through local partners by establishing and empowering community-elected committees of local decisionmakers who identify and then address their needs like clean water access, food security, and accessibility.
