Right now, around the world there are nearly 1 Billion people living without access to a clean and proper supply of water. Many of these survive with less than 1-gallon (~4-liters) of water every day! As a part of your Lenten penance this year, Vera Aqua Vera Vita challenges you to live on 1-gallon or less of water for an entire day!

Here is what you need to do:

1. Choose a Friday, multiple Fridays, or every Friday during Lent to partake in the challenge.

2. Fill an empty 1-gallon milk jug with water.

3. Use that 1-gallon of water conservatively for ALL of your personal water needs that day including but not limited to drinking, showering, washing hands, cooking, cleaning, etc.

4. Create a short video either in the morning before you begin the challenge or at night once you have completed the challenge & post on your personal Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram with the following:

   • Personal introduction

   • Why you are taking on the Solidarity Challenge?

   • The impact you hope to have

   • Challenging three (3) other people to take on the challenge

   • Tag Vera Aqua Vera Vita in the post with the hastags:

     • #SolidarityChallenge & #TrueWaterTrueLife

***Be sure to make your video personal and fun!

Here is an documented experience of the 1-Gallon Solidarity Challenge by a Vera Aqua Vera Vita volunteer from last year: Dalayna Marji | Solidarity Challenge Oct. 18, 2021

TOGETHER let's be in SOLIDARITY with our less fortunate brothers and sisters lacking access to clean and proper water supply and help spread awareness about Vera Aqua Vera Vita's important mission to empower those in need!

"Together we can give True Water True Life!"
