With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.With clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, children are born healthier. They get the chance to go to school and grow up to become adults. Women and men get to earn a living. Whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be.

In Geography Year 2 learned about Malawi.  They discovered that children in that part of Africa have to walk an average of 6k a day to collect water, much of which is not clean.  This prevents children from attending school regularly.  Year 2 have decided to do a 6k sponsored walk in order to raise money for WaterAid so that more children can have access to clean water and decent toilets and can attend school regularly.
