Imagine if getting a drink of water wasn’t as simple as turning on your tap. Clean water isn’t a luxury—it’s a basic human right. But millions of people around the world don’t live near a reliable, clean water source, or have access to sanitary washing facilities, leaving them at risk of illness and deadly disease. Improving access to clean water is one of the most crucial and quickest ways to lift a community out of poverty. It reduces illness, allows girls to go to school instead of retrieving their family’s water and leads to better agriculture and access to food.
Free The Children’s WE Villages is an international development model that provides access to five key Pillars of Impact—Education, Water, Health, Food, and Opportunity—to empower a community with the means to forever lift itself from poverty. Why these five Pillars of Impact? Because together they can create powerful change. All five Pillars of Impact of the WE Villages model are owned and maintained by the community, and designed to be self-sustaining after the initial project implementation.
Since the creation of the Water Pillar, one million people have gained improved access to clean water, health care and sanitation. In this lesson package, pupils will be introduced to the Water Pillar, measure the amount of water they use on average, explore the issue of clean water as a universal human right, and discover how clean water and sanitation can improve the overall health and livelihood of a person. The lessons are grounded in the WE Schools Learning Framework, ensuring pupils develop the core skill sets that help them achieve the learning goals that contribute to the outcomes of creating a global citizen.
Each lesson in the package is organised into starters, main activities and plenaries, with suggestions for differentiation. Clear learning objectives and success criteria following Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning ensure progression within each lesson and the package as a whole.
These lessons develop many aspects of character education and SMSC, with a holistic and tangible approach, encompassing local and global social awareness and action, and empowering young people to make positive changes in the world around them.
