GRAVITY WATER YOUTH INITIATIVE

In 2020, Gravity Water and students at Skyline 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 Sirjanshil Janata Secondary School in Nepal with an on-site clean water system for daily drinking and hand washing.

OUR SISTER SCHOOL: SIRJANSHIL JANATA SECONDARY SCHOOL

Students at Skyline High School decided to choose Sirjanshil Janata Secondary School, located in the Madan Kudari village of Kavrepalanchowk, Nepal, as their benefiting sister school
Currently, Sirjanshil Janata Secondary School lacks access to a reliable on-site source of water. The school currently depends on seasonal spring water, piped in from local streams, which is not filtered and often contains bacteria and parasites. During their dry season, in the winter months, the school often runs out of water.
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 Skyline High School are working together to bring a 6,000 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 aims at providing a one-year supply of free hand soap for the school to use to help reduce risk of COVID-19. Every $8 donated provides one child with safe drinking water.
