Water First movie - free in Denver

Please join us for a FREE screening of the award-winning documentary film Water First  Reaching the Millennium Development Goals directed by Amy Hart Thursday, February 28th, 2013 6:30 - 8:30 PM The Studios at Overland Crossing 2201 S Delaware Denver, CO 80223 Water First is an inspirational story from Malawi that shows why clean water is essential for the achievement of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals. Through the inspiring story of Charles Banda, a humble, local fireman turned "waterman" who has provided clean water to hundreds of thousands of fellow Malawians, it becomes apparent why clean water should be first if we are genuinely committed to reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and reducing poverty and the suffering it causes in developing nations. The MDGs are a set of goals that the UN committed to in the year 2000. The goals address the need to reduce poverty and hunger, achieve universal education, empower women, combat HIV/AIDS and other diseases and build partnerships for development. As Charles Banda articulates in the film, it is impossible to achieve any of these goals without putting water first.   The project has forged a strong relationship with Charles Banda and our implementing partner organization, Freshwater Malawi. Screenings of the film often serve as fundraisers for water and sanitation projects in Malawi. To date, funds from the screenings have provided water for more than 20,000 people.
