Water scarcity is an issue affecting countries, communities and families all over the world and International Riverfoundation works to help combat this crisis. One in eight people don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water while eighty-eight percent of diarrheal cases worldwide are linked to inadequate and unsafe water.

International Riverfoundation engages with national and international organisations on the importance of sustainable river management. As a non government organisation, they dedicate their time and efforts into ensuring that effective river systems and quality water supplies are available to those who need it. Since they established themselves in 2003, they are proud to have forged strong and long-term relationships between countries and organisations all over Australia and maintain the long term vision to reward and champion those who make significant and positive achievements in the protection, restoration and management of our river systems.

“To have been chosen as the sole Australian beneficiary and partner of Live Earth 2010 is an absolute honour and an initiative that we’re 100% committed to since our aim is for everyone to have sustainable and quality water says Peter Krause from International Riverfoundation. We’re also really excited about being involved in such a fantastic event and looking forward to hearing about the acts that will be representing the cause in Melbourne.”
