The tiny, brave community of Stanley, Australia is hanging by a thread in the fight to protect its water from one of the world’s largest drinks companies.
Beverage giant Asahi-Schweppes is making millions bottling and selling the town’s only water reserves.
This rural community of less than 400 people has been fighting back, but they are rapidly running out of money. And their community association, which is leading in this fight, is now at risk of full on bankruptcy.
The residents of Stanley need your help urgently to cover their legal costs and protect their water from Asahi-Schweppes' greed.
Please, can you chip in today to to help Stanley’s residents keep up their fight to protect their water?
