The Vancouver Declaration on Drowning Risk Reduction of Migrants and Refugees
بیان فانكوفر حول الحد من مخاطر الغرق للمھاجرین واللاجئین

14th January 2018 - By Dan Graham

In her presentation to the World Conference on Drowning Prevention, Ms Tima Kurdi issued a challenge to the drowning prevention community.

The world we choose, reflects the actions we take.
I’m here to plant the seed of hope.
In order for that seed to grow, we must use our voices.

Nile Swimmers were pleased to contribute to the initial drafting of the ‘Vancouver Declaration on Drowning Risk Reduction of Migrants and Refugees’ and to provide the Arabic translation.

There will be a blog post soon explaining about the actions that we are taking to support The Vancouver Declaration, and bring it to life.
