Water and sanitation programs are some of the best investments that our country can make. The Water for the World Act will help improve the lives of 2.5 billion people in the world who live without a basic latrine every day. An unprecedented 103 Members of the House of Representatives have become co-sponsors of the bill.

Congressman Chaka Fattah from Philadelphia is a proud supporter of the Water for the World Act.

Let’s get the Water for the World Act to the President’s desk this year!
