The Conference

WATER has been on earth longer than MAN. Called the Source of Life, it nourishes everything that it touches: the earth, the plants, the animals, man. Water is a gift to man, who needs it more than it needs him. Unfortunately, man has done, through time, thoughtless and selfish acts that abuse water excessively and un-sustainably that, if unabated, will eventually lead to man’s own destruction.

These destructive acts of man have rendered the state of WATER today—from its supply and conservation to its drinkability and sanitation—a global concern. Nearly a million deaths a year are attributed to unclean WATER as well as 1.5 percent of the global burden of disease. The stark reality, however, is that over 780 million people still have no access to clean water and nearly 1.9 billion lack adequate sanitation.

Against this backdrop, the 2016 Presidential Conference on WASH in Schools (with emphasis on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) on 18-19 March 2016 in Manila, Philippines finds its relevance as well as its urgency. Spearheaded by Rotary International, it will bring together stakeholders in this global concern—from the government and private sectors to the non-governmental and volunteer organizations in the Philippines and other Asian countries.

The conference is designed to offer a wealth of salient information, a forum of ideas, and an avenue for discussion about WATER concerns particularly in the Southeast Asia region. It will highlight WATER situations in schools and among schoolchildren. It will address WATER education among communities, down to the grassroots level. It will simultaneously hold a project fair showcasing best practices in water and water-related projects particularly in schools and featuring a space for discussions among present and prospective stakeholders.

At the end of this healthy exchange, it is the conference’s objective to produce concrete actions from the conference participants towards the betterment of man’s precious resource, WATER.
