What we do · Clean water
School shouldn'tcost a walkfor water.
When clean water is far from home, collecting it falls to children — and the hours it takes come straight out of the school day. We bring safe water to schools so class comes first.
The barrier
Choosing between water and school
No child should have to choose between collecting water for their family and going to class — yet for many, that's the daily trade-off. Unsafe water also means sickness, and sickness means missed school.
Our answer
Safe water, at school
We fund water projects that bring clean, safe water to schools — harvesting systems, tanks and taps that serve children and their wider communities, and make school kitchens and farms possible.
