Thanks to all who made this possible -- NGOs and others who advocated for it, and the members of Congress and their staffs who did it, esp. our lead champions, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX), Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL), and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN).
Ten years ago the Water for the World Act became law, a measure I led w/@SenBobCorker & @repblumenauer. Since then, the U.S. has helped provide access to safe drinking water to 70M of the world's poorest & access to sanitation to 55M. It's saving lives and keeping kids in school.
