We thank IKNIT and Water Aid for the generous loan of the Knitted River which is serving as part of the Dirt Cafe Water project's temporary environment.

The Knitted Rivers was part of the MARCH TO END WATER POVERTY 9http://www.endwaterpoverty.org/)

'Knit A River' is a campaign with WaterAid by members of IKNIT

As described on the web pages for the project: 'Instead of a more traditional petition I Knit is proud to be making a spectacle! Our 'knitition' will force world leaders to sit up and listen. The river will travel to future WaterAid campaigning events and carry the message. Our demands are simple - let the water flow! WATER AND TOILETS FOR ALL! Join us to demand the end of the struggle for the 1.1 billion people who do not have access to safe water. The campaign is designed to raise awareness of WaterAid and their vision - a world where everyone has access to safe water and effective sanitation.'
