Oakland, California
In 2021, Gravity Water and students at Oakland Technical 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 Langhathali Youth Club
in Nepal with an on-site clean water system for daily drinking and hand washing.

OUR SISTER SCHOOL: Langhathali Youth Club
Gandaki, Nepal
Gandaki, Nepal

Students at Oakland Technical High School decided to choose Bajhakot (Langhathali Youth Club), located in Gandaki, Nepal, as their benefiting sister school.
Currently, Bajhakot (Langhathali Youth Club) lacks access to a reliable on-site source of water. The school currently relies on intermittent spring water or contaminated water from their local river. They are also unable to hold safe drinking water from Nepal’s wet season into the dry season and must order trucks to deliver river water or simply go without it. Neither water sources are filtered and due to the region’s agricultural focus, there are often parasites and bacteria detrimental to students’ health. Gravity Water and Oakland Technical High School are working together to bring a 9,000 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. Every $8 donated provides one child with safe drinking water.
