Campaign draws on fashion industry to bring attention to water crisis

In a new campaign made for the fashion industry and its consumers, the models are dressed in their best sarees. But instead of walking a runway, they are walking toward the well in India’s rural Chikhaldara, a remote region in central India.

It’s a trip they make up to six times every day so their families have enough water for basic needs.

The advocacy campaign contains two short movies. One shows women’s walk to obtain water, and in the second, the women share how spending a large part of their day filling water affects their lives, their ability to care for their children, and their health.
