This time of year, kids everywhere are sharpening pencils and packing backpacks. Yet for millions of children around the world, the school day starts with a long walk to collect water.
Access to safe water at home changes that. It puts kids back at their desks, with the time and health to learn, grow, and dream.
And right now, your impact is doubled. For a limited time, every gift is matched to help kids around the world start the school year strong.
