Mission

H2o for life educates, engages and inspires youth, k-12, to learn about the global water crisis while taking local and global action. Schools partner with a school in a developing country and provide funds to support implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene in service-learning opportunities focused on global water crisis.

Programs

2 programs

Fifty nine schools participated this year, along with eleven other community partners. Staff delivered fifty-nine direct presentations to our schools, nine monthly seminars to our high school fellows, and presented at five educational conferences. We supported thirty eight high school fellows as they led projects at their school and explored careers in water advocacy. Our mini-grant program allocated 4,450 to nine schools, and they raised 11,397 to go towards wash projects globally. New stem and climate science lessons were created to further engage our schools in wash education.
