Empowering Communities Through Knowledge: The Impact of Gravity Water Nepal’s WASH Education Program
Gravity Water Nepal recently completed its WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Education Program across 26 schools, reaching hundreds of students with essential knowledge about safe water practices, hygiene, and rainwater harvesting.
This initiative focused on raising awareness in several critical areas, including:
The rainwater cycle and its practical applications
The importance of filtered and purified water
Effective water purification methods
Waste management strategies
Toilet use and sanitation
Personal hygiene and cleanliness
The 7 steps of handwashing
Menstrual hygiene awareness
Recognizing the diverse learning needs of different age groups, Gravity Water Nepal designed a tailored WASH curriculum for three academic levels: Grades 1–3, 4–7, and 8–10. These resources were shared directly with teachers to integrate into their classrooms.
The response from schools was overwhelmingly positive. Many students enthusiastically participated in handwashing demonstrations, some even sending us videos showcasing their learning. To gauge the program’s effectiveness, we also collected feedback from both students and teachers, and the results were encouragingly affirmative.
The WASH Education Program is more than just a lesson plan; it’s a step toward a healthier, more informed generation. Gravity Water Nepal is proud to support long-term resilience and community well-being by equipping students with practical knowledge and encouraging lifelong hygiene habits.

Heading into Malaysia’s Dry Season with Hope and Resilience
As Malaysia enters its dry season, Gravity Water’s rainwater harvesting initiative in Kelantan is proving more vital than ever. With 44 systems now fully installed, the program is delivering reliable, climate-resilient water access to 28,407 beneficiaries across schools and communities in the region. These systems are helping reduce dependence on scarce or unreliable traditional water sources, especially critical during periods of drought.
To date, the Gravity Water Rain Harvesting Systems have collectively captured over 1,955,000 liters of rainwater, underscoring the initiative’s powerful contribution to both water security and environmental sustainability in Kelantan.
Meanwhile, preparations for the next phase are well underway in Johor Bahru. Gravity Water’s local partner, Water Watch Penang, has completed detailed site assessments at 14 selected schools. These assessments are key to designing tailored rainwater harvesting systems that fit each school’s infrastructure and ensure optimal performance.
In addition to technical preparations, Water Watch Penang and Gravity Water led nine educational sessions with students and school staff. These sessions focused on the importance of rainwater harvesting and its role in global water stewardship, equipping communities with infrastructure and the knowledge to maintain and protect their water resources for the future.
Together, these efforts reflect Gravity Water’s holistic approach: addressing immediate water needs while fostering long-term resilience and environmental awareness within school communities.

Gearing Up for the Next Phase of the Indonesia Initiative
This April marked a key milestone in the ongoing partnership between Gravity Water and Happy Hearts Indonesia (HHI). Together, the teams successfully conducted comprehensive site assessments at 19 schools across West Java, setting the stage for the next phase of the initiative.
These evaluations focused on infrastructure readiness and water security needs—critical factors in ensuring that each RainBox system will deliver long-term, sustainable impact. The enthusiasm from participating schools was unmistakable. For many, this program represents not only a solution to persistent water issues but also an opportunity to bolster their climate resilience.
With both site selection and staff training now completed, the initiative is ready to move forward into the next exciting chapter: RainBox system installations are officially underway!
