There are lots of ways to make a difference for people who don't have access to life's most basic needs - safe drinking water and latrines. To get started, visit Water 1st's Youth Involvement website to learn more: request a DVD to see and hear about water issues in the developing world, download water questions and answers, and find additional curriculum. Next, you can "adopt a community." Finally, look on the website to learn about what other schools are doing to tackle this issue and come up with your school's own strategy for making a difference.
When you reach your goal for the community you've adopted, you'll receive a letter from Water 1st thanking you for your donation, a project update and photo of the community you have impacted, and a certificate of accomplishment.
Connects to issues: Water, Poverty, Health, Women, Environment
