Ecole Percy Pegler

The Proud Panthers at Ecole Percy Pegler School learned that one in eight people on the planet drinks water that's likely to make them sick. The water crisis and poverty go hand-in-hand. Almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water. Unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all disease and kill more people than all forms of violence, including war. Just $20 can give one person access to clean water. With that in mind, the students at École Percy Pegler School decided they wanted to do something about that.

We ran the Charity: Water event in conjunction with the 100th day of school. Students were asked to bring 100 pennies and these were rolled and donated to the charity.
Students raised $137.50 for World Water Day.

Way to go Panthers!
