The Summer Water Education Programme forms part of the organisation’s National School Education Programme on Water Conservation called “H2O Kids ‘N’ Action.”
The “H2O Kids ‘N’ Action” Programme targets children ages 7-9 years and has been a tremendous success for GWI as they continue to receive positive feedback from schools and Parent/Teacher Associations. The Summer Water Education Programme shares in the same success and is specifically aimed at teaching kids about water conservation and encouraging them to spread the message.
GWI stressed the message of being “water-wise” in the Programme as the Summer period (July to August) is seen as a hot weather period and there is a significant increase in water use by consumers during that time.
The Summer Water Education Programme was also aimed at educating the children on the water purification process utilised by GWI and the vast amount of energy used for distribution. The children were also engaged in interactive activities which highlighted effective water conservation methods and their role in combating the global water crisis.
