Mandy Moore to Share the Burden of World Water Day on Capitol Hill

In solidarity with the nearly one in six people around the world who lack clean drinking water, Mandy Moore will travel to Washington D.C. to participate in World Water Day!

Tuesday, March 23rd, Mandy heads to Capitol Hill to join Population Services International for a series of activities in observance of World Water Day. Coming as the U.S. Senate debates the Paul Simon Water for the World Act, Mandy will formally address members of Congress on her recent trip to Southern Sudan and pass out complimentary copies of National Geographic's April issue on water.

In honor of World Water Day, Mandy will also join hundreds of clean water advocates in an attempt to break the record for the world's largest toilet queue. Designed to "bring awareness to the need for improved hygiene and sanitation in developing countries around the world," Mandy and others hope to bring attention to the issue of water, and urge for continued policy maker support for lifesaving interventions. 

In an article for the Huffington Post, Mandy describes how the global water crisis creates consequences that go beyond mere physical illness. Affecting "education, empowerment and economic growth...women and girls are particularly vulnerable to its ill effects," says Mandy, adding that they are "too often the victims of sexual violence while fetching water."

"For those who may ponder the value of 'days' like this--they allow us to rally around the progress we've made and remind us that the job is far from complete," writes Mandy.
