In the town of White Bear Lake, two elementary schools, Matoska International and Willow Lane, are teaming up to learn more about the global water crisis and take action! Both schools have their own “Water Warriors” Club where their teachers have introduced them to the Global Water Crisis and H2O for Life. Staff from H2O for Life visited both clubs and spoke with them about how we want to work together to solve big global issues like access to safe, clean water and sanitation around the world. In December, the two clubs took a half-day field trip and met up […]

On December 14th, H2O for Life kicked off our 4th year of our high school fellowship program. We’ve gone from 10 fellows in 2021 to 42 fellows in our cohort this year! The movement that we are building is growing and the youth are learning ways to take action to solve The Global Water Crisis. We couldn’t be more excited!

Adlih, Alyamama, Camila, and Mariah all participated as fellows and our now supporting the next cohort. […]

Thank you for bringing safe water to Ebenezer Christian Primary School! BEFORE: Located in Uganda’s Lugaazi community as a boarding and day school for primary and nursery students, Ebenezer Christian Primary School currently relies on piped water but continually finds its needs unmet.

Thank you for bringing safe water to Green Land Junior School!

The quality is poor, and this well is situated less than 10 meters from the latrine facilities at the school. In the past year, the well was broken for over six months in total. While the school does have an existing rainwater collection system, it does […]

Thank you for bringing safe water to Fausarah Kindergarten & Primary School! Located in Uganda’s Kiryagonja community as a private boarding and day school, Fausarah Kindergarten & Primary School relied on water from pipes on the campus but continually found its needs unmet.

To protect the health of students and redeem critical classroom time, Fausarah School needed a rainwater collection system that would provide safe water for drinking, handwashing, and more. The Ugandan […]
