CHARITIES WE SUPPORT
The Association of Waldorf Schools of North America
The vision of AWSNA is to strengthen and nurture Waldorf education and to advance Waldorf principles worldwide.
The Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) is a nonprofit membership organization of independent Waldorf schools and institutes in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The association was founded in 1968 to inspire and support collaboration and leverage member collaboration, for the purpose of strengthening each member as well as the vision and mission of the association.
CHARITY: WATER
charity: water is a nonprofit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries.
785 million people live without clean water. That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide, or, twice the population of the United States without access to life’s most basic human need. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep kids out of school and take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that make them sick. When a community gets access to clean water, it can change just about everything. It can improve health, increase access to food, grow local economies, and help kids spend more time in school.
Have your kids participate and be a tiny hero. Let them fundraise for their birthday to provide clean water for kids like them around the world. More info at: www.charitywater.org/tiny-heroes
