ÁLON aims to participate in the “Water for Life” Decade by helping to promote efforts to fulfill international commitments made on water and water-related issues by 2015, placing special emphasis on the involvement of women in the lifestyle segment.

Among the “Water for Life” targets:

• Governments agreed to reduce by half the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 2015.
• The Millennium Declaration emphasized the need for all countries to stop the unsustainable exploitation of water resources.
• Governments added a complementary target to halve by 2015 the proportion of people lacking improved sanitation.
