Easthampton Public Schools
Help Fund a Water Project
While studying the topic of WATER, we the students in the Easthampton After School
Program learned of the scarcity of water in other parts of the world and wanted to make a difference by building a well for kids in Kenya. We got busy making posters, videos, collection
boxes, and getting the word out to our community to begin the task of raising money to help improve the quality of life for kids like us in Kenya. Our main fundraiser is
going to be a WATER DAY. After an informational assembly, we will ask all of our classmates to wear blue to school and donate $1.00 or more to support this important project. We are also planning a Community Water Walk and a Carnival
as our fundraising finale! We have come to realize how fortunate we are and we are passionate about bringing clean water to kids in Kenya, so they can go to school instead of walking miles for water! We welcome and appreciate any help you can give us.
Kids can change the world!

Why It Matters
Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?
Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!
Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.
