Field Notes

charity: water projects at schools like this one use clean water as a catalyst to improve the overall health of kids and the surrounding community in the Rulindo district.

Students used to walk up to two hours to collect water for school. The water was not safe to drink and often made them sick. Thanks to your help, the students now have access to water right at their school! And most importantly, the water is safe enough to drink.

These students did not have a clean, private place to use the bathroom, which is essential for preventing diseases and keeping kids in school. Your money has provided students here with improved sanitation. Plus these students are able to learn about the importance of proper hygiene, which can greatly improve their overall health.

Girls in developing countries miss up to a week of class each month, or even drop out of school, when they hit puberty, because they don't have a private place to use the bathroom during their school day. charity: water invests in separate latrines for girls and boys to ensure privacy and maintain dignity for students.
