Our troop has been learning about water this year. We've been learning about conserving water, keeping it clean, and educating ourselves on the worldwide water crisis. It's now time for us to give back and this is a project we choose to help our world in our own small way.

Giving Tuesday

This year we’re raising money to support clean water for Good Samaritan Primary School in Uganda. Your support can really make a difference for kids in Uganda. Good Samaritan Primary School currently has a rainwater collection tank attached to their facility, but with over 1,500 people relying on it each day, its supply simply isn’t sufficient to provide adequate water for the washing, cooking, and drinking needs of the students and staff. By adding a second rainwater collection system to the school’s facilities, we will be able to significantly bolster the school’s water supply and, in doing so, improve the ability of students to succeed in their educational aspirations and secure a bright future. Our implementing partner, Ugandan Water Project, will erect a 10,000-liter polyethylene tank on a base made of brick, hard core and cement. Once cured, their crew will then place the tank on the base and make an overflow hole in the top of the structure and attach a pipe to it that will extend six inches beyond the perimeter of the base. Crew members will also attach face boards to the roof of the building adjacent to the tank in order to create a suitable surface to which they can attach the gutters that will allow water to flow from the metal roof to the tank. Just before the outlet pipe reaches the tank, a “T” joint will be inserted to create a first flush, a rudimentary filtration system that reduces the amount of debris and contaminants that enter the tank. The crew will then construct a protective barrier around the tank and first flush, as well as a tap stand located slightly downhill of the tank. The rainwater collection system will be paired with four Sawyer Point One water filters in order to ensure that all water collection from the tank will be safe for drinking.

Glacier Creek Middle School

We want to teach our students that they can make a difference in the world. This project closely aligns with our curriculum, as we study about microbes and disease. Also, our school has been involved with H2O for Life for a number of years, and this campaign touches on many of the themes we have worked to educate our students about.

Glade Spring Middle School

Glade Spring Middle School is a service learning based middle school. We chose to join the H20 for Life club to ensure that we took part in making a donation for safer drinking water for other students in Africa.

Glenbard West High School

Freshman english students tasked with creating a service project want to help their community understand more about the global water crisis. The Forensics Club at Glenbard West High School has chosen to help Abundant Grace Jr. School raise funds to install a rainwater collection system (RCS) on school grounds.

Glendale Elementary School

- Glendale Student Council members were given a choice of several different issues they could fund raise for to help a developing nation - Nearly all members expressed the desire to help a developing village have better access to clean water - Glendale students are smart! Donating money for access to clean water provides the most "bang for your buck" in terms of donation dollars. Providing clean water to a village is one of the most effective ways to improve the lives of villagers in developing nations

Global Communications Academy

We have participated in H2O for Life projects since 2010. Since we are a k-12 school many of our students have learned about helping others and the importance of clean water through H2O for Life projects. This year we hope to continue this trend with raising funds towards a well for our partner school.

Globe Charter School

We are a small charter school in Colorado Springs. We are finishing the book, A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park and are excited to learn more.
