We can help – give the gift of safe water! • Donate money to Water.org or other organizations to help give people loans for water and toilets. • Have a bake sale or a lemonade stand to raise money. • Make posters to educate people. • When we get older we can volunteer to go around the world and help people get water. • Be thankful for the water we have every day!
