Imagine this: You go to the restroom to find that the faucet has stopped working. The shower won’t produce any water, and the toilet won’t flush. You find that your state has gone into a long drought. You have also ran out of money. Your water supply dwindles and the nearest water source is miles from where you live. You don’t own a car. After walking for hours to the source, you find the water murky, with bacteria teeming in it. You walk back home with over a gallon of water on your back. This is what many countries on the world are experiencing. Which is why, there is an urgent need for implementation of safe water, sanitation and hygiene education projects (WASH in Schools) for schools around the world. The addition of WASH facilities improves the health and learning performance of students by reducing the incidence of water and sanitation related diseases. Student attendance and time in class also increases when facilities are available on school grounds. Please donate to my fundraiser. Anything you can give is a huge help! Thank you.
