H2O for Life

Impact the world one classroom at a time

Providing youth with the opportunity to impact the world from their classrooms is something that we we believe is truly unique and inspirational. Since 2007, H2O for Life has engaged over 780,000 students to take action to solve the global water crisis. Those students have gone on to organize fundraising events that have raised over $3 million for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Education (WASH) projects across the world.

Today, we challenge you to empower a classroom with an opportunity to make a difference in the world. Join us in raising awareness and funds to engage, educate, and inspire more students to take action against the global water crisis. It only takes $1500 to get one U.S. classroom involved, which in turn can impact 150-250 students globally. How many classrooms will you activate to create ripple effects of change?

How H2O for Life works:
U.S. schools partner with a specific school in need around the world. Using a service-learning model (hands-on work tied to classroom teaching), students raise awareness and funds to implement water, sanitation, and hygiene education projects for those partner schools. Currently, we have active projects on four continents. 

The impact of this work:
Since 2007, more than 750,000 U.S. students in our program have learned about the global water crisis and raised more than $3.7 million for 1,200+ projects in Africa, Asia, North America and South America. More than 450,000 students across the globe now have access to clean water and sanitation – which means more healthy kids stay in school and have a chance at a brighter future. Join us!
