| QUENCH™, a school-to-school safe
water initiative that will enable kids in the U.S. to provide safe
water for school kids throughout the world, will be the focus of a
partnership between Elevate and Global Water Trust in 2005-2006.
For over 2.6 billion people the lack of access to safe water and
sanitation is the leading cause of disease and death in the world.
Half the world’s school children lack access to safe water
on a daily basis. Instead of attending school, kids spend half their
days searching for safe water sources.
Global Water Trust is creating a global community of schools by
educating students in America about water issues in the U.S. and
around the world. By writing songs and performing in bands, directing
and producing short films, photographing and selling photos, selling
Quench™ sponsored bottled water, throwing a Quench™
House Party, participating in an inspiring science-based curriculum,
and proudly wearing their Power of Water™ bracelets and t-shirts,
kids can help eradicate preventable waterborne diseases and provide
safe water to school children globally.
Elevate consulted on fundraising, organizational strategy and strategic
partners to develop the QUENCH program."
