THE HUMMINGBIRD FLIES AGAIN!
The hummingbird shows we can be small but mighty!
As the symbol of World Toilet Day and World Water Day in 2023, people around the world have made thousands of origami birds carrying their promises to take personal action to help accelerate change.
Now we are asking people to create paper nests for the hummingbirds!
Did you know that hummingbirds instinctively keep their nests free from bodily waste to protect their young?
The nests will be a perfect symbol of how we can all do something – however small – to improve sanitation and protect each other.
When you make your nest, please share photos to raise awareness.
