Why water?
2.2 billion people live without access to safe water. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. 43% of those deaths are children under five years old. (Source: Charity Water). It’s not right!
Fundraise for a community water well
Engage your school in a shared global leadership experience. A community well is a game changer for the communities Change for Children works with in Nicaragua. A well costs $10,000 and provides hundreds of people with safe water for generations.
By connecting with Change for Children, your students have the capacity, and incredible opportunity, to help others realize their fundamental human right to water!
