Make a Difference

Most teachers have had a classroom experience that was inspirational, one unforgettable teacher who changed their lives. You can do that too. Inform your students, kids, friends about the global water crisis, and inspire them to get involved and take action. Each one teach one… Each one reach one.

Water Lesson Plans

In partnership with the National Youth Leadership Council and a committee of dedicated teachers, PlayPumps International has developed several lesson plans that use various subject areas to educate students on water issues. Educators, teachers, home-schoolers, service-learning providers, leaders of faith-based and civics groups, find tools here to educate others on water issues.
