Since starting Drop in the Bucket, young people have shown a growing interest in getting involved. Kids Helping Kids is a program set up to give school kids everywhere the opportunity to help other kids halfway across the world. Kids who are no different from them other than the fact that they were born in Africa and have to attend schools with no water or toilets.

Kids Helping Kids is your chance to help these children acquire basic needs that we take for granted: water, sanitation and hygiene. Since this program was introduced, the response has been amazing. Across the country, many school kids are now raising money to help schools in Africa.

A little bit of change can go a long way…
Never take for granted the power of change. Eight year old Brayden of Colorado collected and donated all of his change to Drop in the Bucket. “I want to help Africa. I hope this money helps.” Thank you Brayden! Your generous contribution helped to provide clean, accessible water to children in Uganda.

There's no age limit on having a big heart.
Six year old Megan from New York heard about the water crisis in Africa and wanted to help. Megan held sponsored read-a-thons amongst other things and managed to raise $1000 all on her own.

Among other methods, the young students of the LaFrancis Hardiman School in Wyandach, New York raised money over three months by recycling cans and bottles. Thanks to the kindergarten, first and second graders of this school, children thousands of miles away enjoy the right to clean drinking water everyday. Congratulations on your accomplishments LaFrancis Hardiman School, and thank you for helping Drop in the Bucket provide another community with safe, disease-free water.

Water you waiting for? If a student body of only 190 can raise $7000 in a week, imagine what your school can do. Students’ innovative fundraising methods helped spark the interest of the community, which helped them attain their goal. The Meridian Medical Arts Charter High School in Idaho became the first school in America to provide a complete water system in Uganda through their donation to Drop in the Bucket. Thank you for your commitment to community awareness as well as your donations!
