We will be supporting the OK Clean Water Project which began in 2003 as a partnership between a group of people in Ottawa, Canada, and a group in Kumbo, Cameroon, Africa. They work together to provide access to clean water for villagers living in outlying areas by laying pipes that bring fresh spring water from the hillsides to local compounds. Many of the residents in these areas have to rely on polluted stream water or walk long distances to carry water to their homes.
This year, due to COVID-19, our fundraiser will look a little different. Families are invited to make a donation via School Cash Online, as students won’t be bringing in money.
The “O” in OK stands for Ottawa and the “K” represents Kumbo. We are encouraging the boys and girls to do chores around the home to earn their donations. Our “Five Days to Kumbo” project runs from Monday March 22nd to Friday March 26th.
Students will have a presentation on the OK Clean Water Project on Monday, March 22nd with their cohorts. To learn more about the OK Clean Water Project. please check out the website at http://www.okcleanwaterproject
