Another GREAT year for H2O for Life schools!

H2O for Life would like to thank every school, group and individual donor that helped us raise close to $400,000 this year to bring water, sanitation and hygiene education to schools in need around the world.  In the past four years, our schools have donated over 1 million dollars for the implementation of WASH projects in schools. (water, sanitation and hygiene education)  That is incredible.  Most of the funds are raised by youth through creation of multiple, inexpensive fund raising ideas. Students across the US, Canada and other schools from around the world that have joined us, have studied the issues of the global water crisis, and have said "enough is enough!"  We can do something to change this.  You, too, can get involved and help change and save lives!  It's easy- and doesn't take the involvement of hundreds of people.  Take a look at a recently posted video by Boston College on our facebook page.  A small group of college students (10-12) funded a water project for Longa School in Tanzania.

Over these past four years, the staff and volunteers at H2O for Life have been amazed at the multitude of ideas that have been used by youth to engage their friends, schools and entire communities to take action. We want to share the ideas with you to help your project succeed. Our website,  facebook page and our weekly newsletter will continue to add new ideas, new resources and support for you and your school to make a difference.

Our list of schools is being compiled now, with new additions being added daily.  Please visit our available school partner list, choose a school today, and get ready to "Dig Deep" to be the change over the next school year.  We have several exciting opportunities to share with you as the school year approaches- stay tuned!

Our newly revised educational tool-kit will also be available and in your hands by Sept. 1.  The tool-kit again be available online as well. 

H2O for Life schools have accomplished a lot in four years, but there is more to be done.
Join us today.  Register your project online at http://www.h2oforlifeschools.org/ or call us! (651-756-7577)
