Write to Your River. Join a Global Youth Movement.
The #LetterToRiver Global Writing Campaign is a youth-led international movement by Udaan Youth Club (UYC) inviting people across the world to write heartfelt letters to their local rivers — expressing gratitude, concerns, memories, and hopes.
More than just a writing campaign, this initiative aims to build the world’s largest emotional archive for rivers, collecting 1 million letters by 2030 to amplify public voices and inspire real action for river conservation. The third edition is now open globally in observance of the International Day of Action for Rivers 2026.
From the Ganga to the Amazon, Nile to Thames —
every river has a story. Now it’s time we write back.

Why This Campaign Matters
Rivers are lifelines of civilizations, ecosystems, and cultures. They nourish our lands, provide drinking water, support biodiversity, and shape communities. Yet today, rivers across the world face severe threats from pollution, climate change, and unsustainable development.

Every letter becomes a voice for a river.
