Children learn about water issues in Manitoba and about how seemingly simple challenges, such as gaining access to safe water, are magnified in places like Cameroon. This hands-on workshop also includes building a mini water filter from materials you could find in your yard or home.

Through our interactive workshops, our goal is to make the great minds of tomorrow aware of the issues today. Encouraging participants to be passionate about the need for change and equipping them with the tools to take the right actions.
