Catalysing public action on water justice means helping communities organise and act when water services fail or when pollution and environmental harm threaten people’s health and livelihoods - so rights are defended and change is forced.
WaterCAN does this by:
Supporting campaigns that demand safe, reliable water and proper wastewater management while raising awareness of water rights.
Helping communities plan peaceful, lawful advocacy: petitions, submissions, public meetings, and media outreach.
Building grassroots capacity by training local organisers, strengthening community structures, and sharing practical “how-to” resources.
Connecting local struggles to wider networks so communities can amplify their voice and learn from others.
The goal: turn frustration into organised public pressure—grounded in rights, evidence, and community power - so water justice becomes real and enforceable
