GRAVITY WATER YOUTH INITIATIVE
Ida B. Wells High School

Portland, Oregon
In 2023, Gravity Water and students at Ida B. Wells 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, bringing 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 students and staff of Cốc Mỳ Primary School in Vietnam with an on-site clean water system for daily drinking and hand washing.

OUR SISTER SCHOOL: Cốc Mỳ Primary School
Bát Xát, Vietnam
Bát Xát, Vietnam
Students at Ida. B Wells High School decided to choose Cốc Mỳ Primary School, located in Bát Xát, Vietnam, as their benefiting sister school.
Currently, Cốc Mỳ Primary School lacks access to a reliable on-site source of water. The school currently relies on water that is used in the region comes from springs that settle in a collection area and part of their drinking water is filtered using asmall scale water purifier. However, they cannot produce enough water for all students to drink. Gravity Water and Ida B. Wells High School are working together to bring a 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. Every $8 donated provides one child with safe drinking water.
