Water for Niger – every drop counts!

“Water for Niger” is an educational campaign to raise the awareness of the importance of water and its relation to child survival. Water should be respected, valued and recognised as a human right.

54% of the population still do not have access to drinking water and many children, above all little girls, cannot go to school as they have to help collect water. By participating in the UNICEF Kids Run children help other children.

For each registration TUI donates €5 to UNICEF’s Water for Niger – every drop counts! programme in Niger.

You will find further information about this awareness campaign within the UNICEF programme at www.unicef.es and www.gotas.enredate.org.

Once again, in its third year, TUI is supporting the UNICEF project “Water for Niger – every drop counts” aimed at improving the living conditions for many children in the country.
