WWIF Reschedules Expedition Amid Drought in Southern Africa

Deerfield Beach, FL – March 1, 2016 – Preparations for the 10-1-10 Expedition have been ongoing for more than a year. During a reconnaissance trip in November, representatives and sponsors met and collaborated with local leaders on the expedition route to plan the upcoming event in greater detail. The unfortunate reality they encountered, however, was that in many of those locations, there is very little water to filter. Record low rainfall in the region, generally attributed to the El Niño weather pattern, has resulted in dry conditions that are expected to continue through the end of this summer. The discovery required some drastic changes in the planning to ensure the Expedition will have a significant, beneficial impact for as many people as possible.
