Story
Thank you for donating to our WaterAid fundraiser.
This year, 7th graders read A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park and spent time learning all about the global water crisis and ways to combat the water crisis. They completed a major research project researching different water charities and organizations, presenting to their classmates, and voting on the organization that they feel most deserves our time.
Thank you for your support and for helping us foster philanthropy and global-mindedness in our students!
Best,
Ms. Rachel Pixley, Mrs. Wendy DeVito, and the PMS 7th graders

A note from WaterAid:
Clean water is something many of us take for granted. But for millions of people around the world, it’s still out of reach. Without clean water, everyday life becomes a struggle. Children walk long distances just to fill a container. Illness spreads easily. Moms give birth without safe water to protect them or their babies.
This isn’t just a crisis — it’s preventable.
WaterAid starts with clean water. Clean water is the foundation for everything else. When it’s nearby, reliable and safe, families don’t just survive — they can thrive.That’s why clean water is at the heart of everything we do. Toilets, hygiene and health matter deeply too — and they work best when clean water comes first.
We help bring clean water where it’s needed most. We support communities to access clean water close to home — whether that’s through taps, wells, water systems for schools, or clean water in health centers.We work alongside local people, listening first and building solutions together, so water keeps flowing long after a project is finished.
This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating change people can count on (WaterAid).
