Make Every Drop Count

World Wetland Day is celebrated every year on 2nd February. Similarly, 22nd March is celebrated as World Water Day. Don Bosco Green Alliance is celebrating these two global events around water in 2020 through the campaign – Make Every Drop Count.

Through this campaign, we aim to create awareness around water conservation, the global water crisis and the need for action to save our water sources. We also urge our members to adopt best practices for saving water, efficient water usage and offer simple solutions to this global problem.
