NASSAU, BAHAMAS – MIYA Bahamas has set its sights on accelerating change in The Bahamas, as the world observes World Water Day on March 22.
“Water is life,” according to Alvaro Ramalho, MIYA Bahamas Country Manager.
“As a company MIYA Bahamas is fully committed to doing our part to teach everyone the importance of protecting this very important resource while also working to improve the level of service and the quality and efficiency of the water distribution networks.”

Over this year and next, MIYA executives will make presentations to young students across New Providence, in the hopes of inspiring a new generation to take action.
The new school-focused initiative is part of a wider strategy by the company which recently expanded its contract in The Bahamas to continue water reduction efforts.
“The country can only achieve the water reduction goals by having a full commitment from all the population,” Ramalho stressed. “Therefore, the schools are extremely important assets to teach the importance of conserving water and an excellent vehicle to spread the word of water value in a world impacted by recurring droughts and global warming.”
The global observance of World Water Day is a reminder of the critical role that water plays in sustaining life on Earth and the need to take collective action to protect this precious resource.
This year’s World Water Day theme, ‘Accelerate Change,’ highlights the urgent need to address the global water crisis and the impact it continues to have on other global issues, from hunger to healthcare.
