Kelsey, a sophomore at Sissonville High School in West Virginia, took part in the H2O for Life Fellowship program last school year, choosing to support Muggaga Secondary School in Uganda.

“Initially, we utilized $400 from the H2O for Life Mini-Grant to purchase and sell Chick-fil-A at Sissonville Middle and High Schools. We created posters about Muggaga Secondary School to highlight the effects of the Global Water Crisis, aiming to raise student awareness of its impact on educational communities. Subsequently, we sold Crumbl Cookie gift cards (independently of the grant funds) and allocated the remaining $100 of the grant to acquire Sissonville merchandise from our school store for a raffle. The gift cards were advertised to the community via Facebook and were quickly sold out.” – Kelsey

In the end, Kelsey and her classmates succeeded in raising over $800, contributing to the completion of the WASH project at Muggaga Secondary School. Below are further quotes from the students of Sissonville:

“I definitely would participate if you did something like this again. The gift cards and the raffle was a good combination.”

“Thanks for doing this! I love Chik-fil-A!”

“Yeah, this is a good fundraiser! I like how there were two parts to it, and both of them were good.”

“This is for such a good cause! I would love to participate again.”

“Doing gift cards is perfect for this time of year! I’m going to give some to my teachers as an end of year gift.”
