H2O for Life in conjunction with our in-country partner, Save the Children, will fund a WASH in Schools project for Nationale Louis Lamartiniere de Hatty primary school in the Maissade area of Haiti. This area is welcoming refugees following the recent earthquake, and now more than ever a sustainable source of water, sanitation and hygiene education is needed. U.S. schools may join H2O for Life through participation in an engaging and transformational service learning opportunity. Take this opportunity to educate students about the world water crisis, while taking action to help bring WASH to Louis Lamartiniere school.

Students currently must carry water to school each day, and walk significant distances to collect water from polluted sources. Current latrines are in poor condition and do not meet the needs of the students attending school. Hygiene education, particularly hand-washing are essential to increase the overall health of the school.

H2O for Life's mission is to promote US school partnerships with schools in developing countries that are in need of WASH in Schools. We can make a difference for students attending Louis Lamartiniere de Hatty school.

H2O for Life will provide a transformational service learning opportunity for students to study the issues surrounding the water crisis, both in the US and around the world, while also providing an action opportunity for students to raise funds and bring water, sanitation and hygiene education to their partner school. Students will see that their actions can change lives around the world.

A WASH in School Project has been planned with the help of the local community, and is ready for implementation upon receipt of funds. H2O for Life Schools raise half the funds needed for the project, and the other half will be matched by our in-country implementing partner. All projects are sustainable and are designed to be appropriately managed by the school community upon completion.
