A new Sphere Poster and Bookmark are now available for download in 3 languages: English, French and Spanish. Those promotional materials were produced in the occasion of the Sphere 10th anniversary reflecting the main message of Sphere as a practical articulation of the rights-based approach. The underlying principle of Sphere is that all people have a right to life with dignity and to quality assistance regardless of political, ethnic or geographical specificity in the ‘life saving’ areas of Water, Sanitation/Hygiene Promotion, Shelter, Food security/Nutrition/food aid, and Health Services.
