Studies reveal that 2.1 billion people across Asia and the Pacific lack access to safe water and sanitation. If collective action isn’t taken to address this, it might be too late—especially for the next generation.

To help youth understand the gravity of this situation, the Ayala Foundation, the Ramon Magsaysay Foundation, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) have partnered with Oxford University to bring the traveling “Fair Water?” exhibition to the Philippines. Now displayed at the Ayala Museum in Makati City, the exhibit offers an immersive experience exploring global water security challenges, highlighting issues and case studies specific to the Philippines and the wider Asia region.
