sports carnival water

Access to Water
Inspiration
Thousands die every day from not enough water. I think a lot of us could be part of the solution for this one.
How
At school sports carnivals, everyone wants water. This is a great opportunity for teachers and young people to meet a global need in a really easy way.

Get permission from your principal to set up a water stand. Buy a few big boxes of water nice and cheap. Sell them at twice the cost (probably what anyone would normally pay for water anyway) cover costs and donate the rest to a great water charity.

This is so simple and such a cool idea... I reckon you could do this at any event, like a music festival or something!!!

This is a fantastic idea. It is very simple and very likely to work well. In line with this, I thought I'd share a couple of links that I've found recently about clean drinking water.

Costco(America Warehouse distributors) sell packages of water bottles(36 bottles) for only about 5 dollars per package. You could make a huge profit out of it. Great idea, only I think you should rip the labeling paper off, wouldn't want to get to any trouble with the company, however, sense it is for a great cause, speaking with those companies could give you some relief from any legal trouble you might get into.

Suggestions for 'great water charity' perhaps?

Awesome idea!! I see why you are in charge of this amazing site :) Keep up the awesome work. Hopefully this website will become the new addiction. Well, action more than writing, lol.

Yes, very simple! Everyone needs water anyway and this is an easy and great way to raise money for other people's wellbeing and your own wellbeing at the same time you don't pay more than you're usually do! Great!
