This assembly was live in January 2021.

In this assembly, find out how even though we are all apart, we are still connected. We’ll travel to a place called Afar in Ethiopia, one of the hottest regions on earth, to meet people who make long journeys to collect water because it is so scarce.

Find out how the steps you take and the actions you make can make a difference to communities without water.
