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!
