Minister of Water and Sanitation Abida Mia says will lobby developed countries and organisations to assist Malawi with resources to ensure that people have access to clean water.

The minister is in New York United States of America where she is to attend the UN 2023 Water Conference at the invitation of the United Nations leadership.

Mia says access to clean water is an essential service to every citizen across the globe and it is a basic but important human right.
