Every Drop Counts

​This is the third year AKU has been facilitating this challenge for our students and students of the high schools in the cities where we are located. This year's theme is 'Every Drop Counts'. This theme was chosen due to its relevance and urgency, while also providing countless opportunities for individuals to make active and positive changes!

Climate change profoundly affects water availability, leading to both extremes—too much and too little water. As global temperatures rise, altered weather patterns cause more intense storms, leading to floods that overwhelm infrastructure and displace communities. Conversely, warmer temperatures also exacerbate droughts, drying up rivers, lakes, and groundwater reserves. This dual threat disrupts agriculture, water supplies, and ecosystems, challenging efforts to sustain human and natural systems. The delicate balance of water is increasingly disturbed, highlighting the need for urgent climate action to manage both the surpluses and scarcities it causes.

Every individual has the power to make a positive impact on water stress and use. Simple actions like reducing water waste, fixing leaks, and using water-efficient appliances can collectively make a significant difference. By being more conscious of our daily water consumption, we help conserve this vital resource. Supporting sustainable practices, such as choosing drought-resistant plants for gardens or advocating for policies that protect water sources, amplifies our impact. Small changes in our habits, when multiplied across communities, can lead to big improvements in water management.

Together, we can devise Water Solutions for a Sustainable Future.

We can't wait to work together to:

  • Raise awareness about climate change and its impact on our planet
  • Inspire collective action and community engagement
  • Drive tangible changes that contribute to a better environment for a better tomorrow
