Imagine if getting a drink of water wasn’t as simple as turning on your tap. In some countries, women and children have to walk 3.7 miles a day to get water, and often this water is unsafe to drink due to harmful contaminants.
Around the world today, more than 663 million people live without access to safe drinking water. In developing communities, hauling water from distant sources is primarily the responsibility of women and girls. In times of drought and crop failure, villages without a reliable water source
go hungry and it can mean the difference between life and death. These health and financial costs have a ripple effect on a community’s entire economy—making it increasingly difficult for families to break the cycle of poverty.
This lesson package helps students learn about the realities of poor water access, and gives them the tools they need to plan their own awareness or fundraising water walk.
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.
