In 2021, Gravity Water and students at San Luis Obispo 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 Lùng Cải Primary and Secondary School
in Vietnam with an on-site clean water system for daily drinking and hand washing.

OUR SISTER SCHOOL: Lùng Cải Primary and Secondary School​
Bắc Hà​, Vietnam

Students at San Luis Obispo High School decided to choose Lùng Cải Primary and Secondary School, located in Vietnam, as their benefiting sister school.

Currently, Lùng Cải Primary and Secondary School lacks access to a reliable on-site source of water. The school currently uses spring water and rain water, but this water is often contaminated and the school has to fetch water when the 1” water pipes get clogged. They rely on boiling water to make it safe to drink, but cannot boil enough for every student.

​Without access to a safe and reliable source of water for both hand-washing and drinking, students at this school are at great risk of contracting and spreading illness, especially COVID-19.

Gravity Water and SLO High are working together to bring a 3,500 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.

San Luis Obispo High School's Clean Water Impact To Date

2017 Clean Water Campaign
San Luis Obispo High School’s 2017 Campaign brought clean drinking water to Sangam School, a public school located in Sankhu Village in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Without access to fresh water, Sangam School was dependent on buying and shipping in “fresher” water, which came from an open river outside the city.

Through support from the 2017 San Luis Obispo High School fundraiser Campaign, Gravity Water worked with the Sangam School and the Sankhu Community to install a rainwater harvesting system, which is providing the entire school of 640 students with a daily source of safe drinking water.

​2018 Clean Water Campaign
San Luis Obispo High School’s 2018 Campaign was focused on Ta Van Chu Primary School, which is located in the rural Bac Ha District of northern Vietnam and is composed of 330 students, ranging from ages 4 to 12. Ta Van Chu Primary School used gravity-fed stream water, which is commonly polluted by agricultural chemicals.

Through support from the 2018 San Luis Obispo High School fundraiser Campaign, Gravity Water set up a 3,500-liter rainwater harvesting and filtration system that allowed the school to have a new source of water that was unpolluted and safe to drink year-round. This system provides the school and community with 500+ liters per day of safe drinking water, completely energy free.

​2019 Clean Water Campaign
In 2019, San Luis Obispo High School teamed up with Morro Bay High School to bring safe drinking water to 850 students and staff atShree Prabha Secondary School, which is located in the Kavrepalanchowk District of central Nepal. Shree Prabha Secondary School was dependent on seasonal spring water for their water source, which was unfiltered and polluted, especially during the rainy season.

Through support from the 2019 San Luis Obispo High School fundraiser Campaign, Gravity Water set up an 8,000-liter rainwater harvesting and filtration system that allowed the school to have a new source of water that was unpolluted and safe to drink year-round. This system provides the school and community with 1,400+ liters per day of safe drinking water, completely energy free.
