At Hidden Oak Elementary School, we strive to assist each child to gain the life skills necessary for independence as a future functioning member of society. We want our students to learn how to be amazing citizens.

At our school we are lucky. When we are thirsty, we push a button. When we are dirty, we use a faucet or a shower. If we need to cook pasta, we have clean water to use. If we have a cut or a scrape, we can clean it with bacteria-free water.

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

This campaign will help students learn to think globally about change and realize that they can make a difference. Help us solve the water crisis by donating.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

(Make sure to leave a comment about which grade level should get credit. There will be a party for the grade level with the highest donations).
