Thirsty for Knowledge - Bottles for a Bright Future
Help me give my students water bottles to ensure they stay hydrated and healthy, as our school mostly has water fountains that require water bottles and many come from low-income families struggling to afford basic necessities.

My Project
Providing water bottles to our students will significantly enhance their learning environment and overall well-being. At our school, many students face challenges related to affordability, which impacts their ability to access basic necessities like water bottles. While our school’s water fountains are available, many students lack the necessary bottles to use them. By supplying these essential items, we can ensure that every student remains hydrated throughout the school day. Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining focus, cognitive function, and overall health, which directly influences academic performance.
The goal of our project is twofold.
First, we aim to provide student’s in need with a durable, reusable water bottle to keep at school, ensuring they have consistent access to water during lessons and breaks. Second, we seek to foster a supportive environment that underscores the importance of self-care and personal responsibility. By addressing this basic need, we hope to remove one barrier to learning and promote a healthier, more engaged student body.
What makes our students special is their resilience and eagerness to learn despite the challenges they face. Many come from backgrounds that require extra support, yet they consistently show determination and enthusiasm for their education. Our students approach each day with a positive attitude and a readiness to overcome obstacles, making them deserving of every opportunity to succeed. Providing water bottles is a small yet impactful way to support their ongoing efforts and acknowledge their hard work and dedication. Through this project, we aim to contribute to their overall success.
More than half of students from low‑income households
