Last month, three H2O for Life alumni joined us at the U.S. WASH Convening in Washington, DC. Andrew, Emmie, and Melissa previously participated in H2O for Life’s High School Fellowship Program, where they each led a service project at their respective schools to raise awareness and funds for a Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) intervention at a partner school. This May, these students had the opportunity to apply what they learned by connecting with leaders in the U.S. WASH sector, hearing from water access experts, and participating in advocacy work on Capitol Hill. Not only did they come away with […]

Your contribution has given access to clean water for the St. Stephen Chepsaga Secondary School in Kenya, thanks to the completion of their borehole well! Clean, flowing water is already making a difference in the lives of the students and staff. This will provide them with a reliable water source for their daily needs.

The 7th-grade Humanities room at Gate City Charter School for the Arts was buzzing. It all started back in April. They had just finished reading A Long Walk to Water and Thirst, learning about how kids their age in South Sudan had to walk miles every single day just to get clean water.

The brainstorming session was pretty chaotic, but that’s just how they rolled. They decided to […]

Msengela Primary School is situated in the Kilolo district of the Iringa region. The school was facing a significant water crisis that adversely impacted the health, hygiene, and academic performance of its 452 students and 8 staff members. The school lacked a direct water supply, forcing students to fetch water from a stream located more than 1.5 kilometers away. This water is untreated and often contains harmful microorganisms, putting students and staff at risk of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, typhoid, and cholera. The water shortage prevented regular cleaning of the toilets and created an unhygienic environment. This situation posed […]
