h20 for life

H20 for LIFE is a non-profit organization that is committed to helping U.S. school and college students provide clean water and sanitation to schools overseas.

Through service learning projects, U.S. schools raise 50% of the funds needed for water sanitation and hygiene education (or “WASH”) projects. Partner Non-governmental organizations raise the other 50% and implement WASH projects in places where they are needed most. In the process, U.S. students become more knowledgeable and engaged in creating a better global community.

The goals of H20 for Life are to:

• Improve the health of poor people and especially children
• Lessen the physical burden of carrying water on women and children
• Support self-help, community-initiated efforts in rural villages
• Teach transferable skills to improve the lives of villagers
• Preserve watersheds on which H20 projects depend
