WORLD WATER DAY
Every year the ISA Lower School Student Council organises a fundraising campaign to support East African Care in Kenya to improve access to clean water in their own communities. This can range from providing new wells to building latrines for schools and village communities.
ISA Lower School students collect Euro coins in a reusable bottles over a week. They place a coin in the bottle each time water is used in their home, helping to raise awareness within their family regarding how lucky they are to have easy access to clean water in the Netherlands.
Last year the students raised over 2700 euros to support access to clean water in Kenya and hope to collect more this year.
