In 2020, Gravity Water and students at Aptos High School teamed up to spread awareness of the Global Water Crisis and do something about it. The goal of the campaign is to fund an entire Gravity Water system, bring an on-site, permanent, and energy-free source of safe drinking water to a school in need.
Help us reach our goal of providing the 218 students and staff of Bishwa Shiksha Sadan Secondary School with an on-site clean water system for daily drinking and hand washing.

OUR SISTER SCHOOL: BISHWA SHIKSHA SADAN SECONDARY SCHOOL

Students at Aptos High School decided to chose Bishwa Shiksha Sadan Secondary School, located in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal, as their benefiting sister school.
Currently, Bishwa Shiksha Sadan Secondary School lacks access to a a reliable on-site source of water. The school currently gets water delivered to them through a truck delivery service, which collects either ground water or river water and then fills the underground water tank at the school with water. Since Kathmandu doesn't have a waste water management system, sewage ends up entering the ground water and rivers, slowly making it into the water that the students access at school.
Without access to a safe and reliable source of water for hand-washing and drinking, students at this school are at great risk of contracting and spreading illness, especially COVID-19. Gravity Water and Aptos High School are working together to bring a 10,000-liter Gravity Water system to the school, which will provide them with a free, reliable, and daily source of safe water that is on-site and meets U.S. EPA-rated standards. In addition, Gravity Water is aiming at providing a year-round supply of hand soap to all students in response of the COVID-19 pandemic. $8 = Provides one child with safe drinking water.
$5 = Provides one child with a year-round supply of hand soap for school and home. |
