Participate in Water for People's Global Mosaic Challenge!
How about a little friendly competition to raise funds for Water For People? The Iowa Section AWWA Water For People Committee is joining Water For People’s Global Mosaic Challenge – a global photo mosaic that raises funds to ensure health clinics and communities across Africa, Latin America, and India have safe, reliable water to wash their hands during COVID-19 and beyond. (Did you know 50% of healthcare facilities around the world don’t have piped water and 39% don’t have soap!?) We can make a difference!
The Iowa Section AWWA will be competing against all of Water For People’s other Committees, so let’s raise the most money and prove what we already know – our committee is the best!
To participate, all you have to do is donate $10 or more and submit your photo to be included in the mosaic. Best of all, donations will be tripled!! That’s right, TRIPLED up to $125,0000, thanks to the generous contributors of the Water For People Leadership Council COVID-19 Fund.
The challenge ends June 15, so please donate today....and, of course, please share with your friends and family. Here are some sample messages and resources to help you get started: https://brandfolder.com/global-mosaic-challenge

Don’t forget to choose our committee (listed as Iowa - AWWA/WEA) from the pull-down box to ensure we receive credit. The top committee will win a custom framed mosaic print… with your photo in it! You will also be able to download your own copy of the mosaic to print or use digitally.
