Mira Costa High School

We are so motivated by the work that is done by H2O for Life Club. Our chapter of this organization has been existent at Mira Costa High School since 2008. We address water issues in nations around the world. We raise money to develop water systems in cities that need them, especially in underdeveloped nations. By working with different schools in third world countries, we are providing these schools with a sanitary water system that benefits the entire community. The money not only goes toward building effective water sanitation and distribution systems, buts also helps raise awareness to neighboring about hygiene, sanitation, and maintenance. Last year we helped build a water system in Kenya. The Year before that, we worked with a school in New Delhi, India. This year we worked with a school in Malawi (another African nation). We hope to continue helping communities across the world with their water problems and end this year with another successful build.

Olivia’s 2024 Walk For Water

Back before COVID when I was attending Manhattan Beach Middle School, I learned about the water crisis in Africa through my history class. I couldn’t believe that students weren’t able to go to school and study because they had to walk several miles each day to get fresh drinking water in order to survive. I discovered this incredible organization, WALK FOR WATER, and because of YOU was able to build not one, but TWO wells for two different schools. This afforded dozens of students the ability to learn rather than walk for water each day. The world shut down, I started a new school, and basketball has consumed my every weekend but I keep thinking about how good it felt to do this and I want to try it again. Last time we raised over $3400 dollars. We’ve set a similar goal this year and I’m asking for your help. Whether it is $5 or $500, it helps. I’m hoping to visit these schools as a graduation present in 2025. THANK YOU for considering giving your support. I know the world feels crazy and unstable right now but by giving just a little, you are providing opportunity and hope for children who have it much tougher than us. Thank you. Olivia “Livi” Lagao

Pacific Ridge School

The 7th grade class just read A Long Walk To Water in our study of the global and local water problems. We are going to do a local water awareness campaign but the students were so moved by the book that we wanted to get involved even though it is late in the year. I hope we can still help out!

Redlands eAcademy Middle School

On January 18, 2022, students in grades 6th-8th began reading the novel, A Long Walk to Water. Students have been blogging on Padlet walls about environmental sustainability, sharing their experiences with water, and collaborating about how they can educate others about the global water crisis in their language arts classes. In addition to reading the novel and completing language arts activities, students have been keeping track of their daily water usage, and are reviewing their data and findings. In science, they have been working on a water cycle project. In history, they have been taking a Google Earth Literature Trip of Salva and Nya’s journey and learning about people’s experiences in Southern Sudan during their civil war. Upon finishing the book, students will complete a culminating project to educate our school community about the global water crisis. Students will have the option to present at our annual Knowledge Fair on March 17, 2022. In conjunction with all of this learning, students started a Penny War on February 1st to raise funds to support school #4 in South Sudan. It is our goal that students meet H2O for Life’s mission; H2O for Life offers a service-learning opportunity designed to engage, educate and inspire youth to take action to solve the global water crisis by raising awareness and funds to support implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene education projects for global partner schools.
