In the Classroom
Inspiring the Next Generation!
It was Ryan’s Grade 1 teacher who first taught him about kids in other parts of the world living without access to clean water. With support, encouragement and helpful resources, Ryan proved that young people can make a big impact!
We continue to support the efforts of students from around the world in creating positive change. Whether you’d like to learn more about the global water and sanitation crisis, are interested in fundraising or would like us to share Ryan’s story – we can help inspire your students to think beyond what they thought was possible of themselves!
Take the 'Can You Imagine' Quiz!
For many people, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like without clean water – especially as a kid.
Take the ‘Can You Imagine’ quiz to learn more about 11-year-old Amy and how her day living in a developing country compares to yours – and, what you can do to help!
