Waconia High School

Hi, my name is Evalana and I am part of Waconia High School's international club. For our lettering requirements we had to look at the global goals and one that really stood out to me was clean water and sanitation. I wanted to do something that could help those suffering from unclean water or water deprivation. My teacher told me about h2oforlifeschools.org and I found some great opportunities for me and anyone from international club willing to help out.

White Bear Lake Area High School ...

Every day, one billion people make a three hour journey to gather water! There is a water crisis throughout the world that is creating economic, social, educational and, worst of all, life threatening conditions. We can help change that statistic for our partner school. We want our students to know that by working together, we can make a difference in the world! We hope that all students in our school will benefit from our partnership with H2O for Life. Students will be challenged to think about their own habits concerning water usage, and will develop awareness of the enormity of the issues surrounding water in our world. We hope our school will be committed to make this project for our partner school a reality.

White Bear Lake Area Learning Center

Viewing a video from a representative from the WE ACT organization motivated students to participate and provide a school with clean drinking water. Helping build a well is something that students feel will develop not just clean water, but will assist the students by allowing them more time in the classroom. Our school is involved in many local community service projects and can see how those projects affect our local residents and now want to expand their giving toward a global effort.

White Bear Nation helps Navajo Na...

White Bear Lake High School has partnered with H2O For Life for many years and this year is no exception. This pandemic has given our students a historic chance to help out people in our own country with unbelievable needs. The Navajo Nation currently has been decimated with Coronavirus. As of April 27, they had 1,873 positive COVID-19 cases and 60 known deaths. An estimated 40% of residents don't have access to running water, making hygiene practices extremely challenging. This is where we can help. H2O For Life has partnered with DigDeep to bring water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities to the Navajo Nation. DigDeep is currently working non-stop to deliver soap, build handwashing facilities and provide lifesaving water for residents. GO BEARS!

Wishing Well - Alaina Rivera

Alaina (age 11) is starting a service project for the summer and is hoping to donate her proceeds to a school in need. She has purchased supplies for water balloon flip flops with her own money and is going to assemble them and sell them with the hopes of earning cash to help provide needy children with clean water. We visited H2O for Life at the Aveda water walk on Earth Day and my children talk of the organization frequently. You made quite an impression upon them!

Women Water Warriors

While traveling in Uganda with H2O for Life, our group visited Rushaga School in Bwindi Uganda. We were impressed with the collaborative community spirit. The women, men and children of Rushaga work together to enhance the welfare of every community member. The women's collaborative creates crafts that are sold at the base of the Gorilla Trek, the community funds an orphanage, the school, noon-time meals for children and more. We noticed that the school does not have access to adequate and safe water. The addition of a tank and gutters to collect rainwater is a simple solution. (Nothing about getting supplies to Rushaga is simple, but it can be done!)
