Transforming rural villages in India and other developing countries takes a multi-faceted approach to accomplish.
- Clean drinking water brings a new level of freedom to the women living in remote Indian villages and removes the pressure for young girls to drop out of school to help their mothers fetch water with them.
- Sanitary toilet facilities gives young girls the chance to stay in school even after they start their menstruation.
- We want to go a step beyond meeting these foundational needs by helping both boys and girls finish their education!
Children are the village's future leaders, parents, and contributing members of society. Educating them helps to break the cycle of poverty and provide hope for a better future.
Sadly, many of the children from remote villages end up quitting school because their families cannot afford the school supplies they need for the upcoming school year. Breakthrough Water meets this need by equipping boys and girls with a full year's worth of school supplies.
Each student receives a sturdy backpack with the following items:
- 1 water bottle
- 10 notebooks
- 1 pencil holder with pens, pencils, and an eraser
- 1 ruler
- 1 lunch box or steel plate
- 1 umbrella
- 1 pair of shoes
- Miscellaneous goodies
We make sure to buy quality items that will last the whole school year for these precious children. We even measure every pair of feet to ensure that the pair of shoes we give will properly fit the child.
Help us transform rural villages and help the next generation succeed by giving the gift of education. Education Changes Everything
