Speaking to media, the Director of Water and CSD at Kasapreko, Eunice Bonsu re-echoed the need for people to preserve water since its essential to saving lives citing Awake\u2019s #One4Life initiative in which a pesewa or two pesewas on each bottle sold is given to the National Cardiothoracic Centre to cater for patients with hole in heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cWater is an essential commodity in our lives and we at Awake have decided to save lives using water. It is for this we brought on board the #One4Life initiative to support persons with heart defects since the heart is central to the body system,\u201d Mrs Bonsu said.<\/p>\n
The World Water Day is marked annually on March 22 and its about taking action to tackle the water crisis facing the world. This year\u2019s theme was \u201cWhy Waste Water?\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is estimated that about 1.8 billion people don\u2019t have access to quality drinking water. The Day was officially designated by the United Nations in 1993.<\/p>\n
