Histoires d'espérance

Dans le monde entier, des Eglises, des organisations liées à l'Eglise et leurs partenaires participent aux efforts réalisés quotidiennement pour fournir aux communautés de l'eau potable et des systèmes d'assainissement. Ils militent également en faveur de politiques nationales et internationales permettant de créer des conditions optimales pour que l'accès à l'eau pour tous devienne une réalité. Le ROE facilite l'échange entre ses membres et partenaires concernant leurs difficultés et leurs expériences.

Nous souhaiterions partager avec vous les histoires suivantes. Des histoires d'espérance, car elles parlent de gens qui œuvrent et luttent ensemble à la préservation et la protection de l'eau en tant que bien commun, en tant que trésor et responsabilité publique, et non pas comme une marchandise parmi d'autres.
