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 life-threatening conditions. There is an urgent need for clean water and sanitation in schools and communities around the world. Children, especially those under the age of five, are most susceptible to the ultimate horrors of water-borne diseases. Access to clean water and adequate sanitation substantially decreases the mortality rates among children.

Belmont-Cragin Elementary

The children at Belmont-Cragin have been involved in various types of service learning project for 3 years now. Our school is located in Chicago and services families from various Hispanic backgrounds. We are a hardworking community that believes in not only taking care of ourselves, but the importance of reaching out and taking a civic responsibility to reaching out to those in need. Last year, we raised over $1500 in the largest Race Against Hunger in the midwest and this year we would like to do the same by providing fresh water to children that are less fortunate than ourselves. Will you please consider helping us reach our goal? Any amount is appreciated.

Cahokia 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.

We will strive to prepare our students to become critical thinkers through differentiated instruction while maintaining a well-balanced curriculum. As part of the community, Columbus East is a committed participant of ensuring that a positive environment for our students exists.

Daystar Academy

We are a preK-12th grade school in the South Loop of Chicago. Managing an after school fundraiser where students learn about water insecurity and participate in activities whilst acknowledging the struggles of students in Ghana aligns with my personal interests such as making a social impact, developing leadership and organizational skills, engaging with the Daystar community, and fostering our personal growth.
