WHRHS H2O for Life Club

The WHRHS H2O for Life Club plans to fundraise in support of the Guadalupe Perez project.

Wiggins School

PLEASE HELP THE STUDENTS AT THE WIGGINS SCHOOL IN CAMDEN, NJ GIVE THE GIFT OF CLEAN WATER TO A SCHOOL IN TANZANIA, AFRICA The students at the Wiggins College Preparatory Lab School, a school in Camden, New Jersey, want to make a difference in the world and help to make it a better place. Through the H2O For Life non-profit organization, we will be partnering with the Ipagala School in the developing country of Tanzania, Africa. Through fundraising efforts, we will strive to raise funds for a water project that will bring clean water, sanitary bathroom and handwashing facilities to our partner school in Tanzania. The total cost of the project is $5750.00 Our partner school currently has no access to clean water. By providing this school with access to clean water and sanitation facilities, we will enable more of its students to attend school, since they won’t have to spend their days searching for clean water or being sick at home because they have contracted a water-related disease. Did you know that a child dies every 20 seconds in the world because of unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation? By helping the students across the globe, we will be learning about the global water crisis and about our partner community in Tanzania. This service-learning project will be a great opportunity for us to help to fix a serious global problem and make a positive difference in the world. Even though we are planning several fundraisers during the school year, including a tree planting event, a water walk, and other community service-related activities, we know that we cannot reach our lofty goal without your generosity and support.

Wilkes University

William T. Rogers Middle School

Willow Lane Elementary School

Willow Lane Elementary School serves a diverse student population with nearly 60% of our students on Free and Reduced Lunch. Service is a core value of the White Bear Lake Area Schools. Willow Lane is transitioning to an Environmental Science focus. This project brings some great learning opportunities that will tie-in with service and the environmental issues around water. Our students will focus on additional core values of compassion, integrity and responsibility.

Wilson High School

We are fortunate enough to have easy access to clean water and sanitation facilities. Even though we take it for granted, this project will help to increase awareness about the situation in other parts of the world.

Windham Middle School

Windsor Locks Middle School

We want to help the children in need. We want to create a VOICE that reaches across borders and countries!

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!

Wolfson Water Project

We are Samuel Wolfson School for Advanced Studies. We are interested in partnering with this project as a way to become more engaged in global issues while focusing our efforts as a club on meeting direct needs of a specific group of people with real outcomes. We are looking to give back and help promote global literacy and promote health systems world wide. Students participating in this program at Wolfson are engaging in the IB CAS program.

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!)

WorldWalkers

The children that go to the Chub Romdeng Primary School do not have access to clean and safe water. To understand the work and effort they put in each day to have water to drink as a community we will walk together to help raise money for a WASH project. Women and children spend on average 8 hours a day collecting water, which takes away time from an education that creates well informed citizens who contribute to advancing their society. If women and children have the assurance of having clean water, families will be healthier and have a greater ability to have a steady income. This walk is raising awareness for suffering countries all around the world who do not have access to clean water. As a community when we walk for water, we will not only understand the difficulties of carrying water, but it will also help raise awareness about the importance of conserving water.
