How We Keep Water Clean at School
By a 10-year-old School Water Champion
At school, we use water every day — to drink, wash our hands, and even clean our classrooms. But just like at home, it’s super important that we keep our water clean so we stay healthy. Let me tell you how we can all work together to make sure the water at school is always safe and clean!
🚰 Clean Water for Drinking
One of the most important things we do at school is make sure the water we drink is clean and safe. To do this:
- We boil the water before drinking it to kill germs and bacteria.
- We use covered containers to store water so it doesn’t get dirty or contaminated.
- Each student is reminded to use clean cups when drinking water.
This way, we can always make sure the water we drink helps us stay strong and healthy!
🧼 Washing Hands with Clean Water
Before eating lunch or after using the toilet, we wash our hands. Clean water is needed to:
- Prevent germs from spreading.
- Keep our hands fresh and free from dirt.
- Avoid getting sick with diseases like typhoid or dysentery.
At school, we have handwashing stations with soap and water. We also remind each other to wash hands properly — especially before eating and after using the toilet!
🧹 Keeping the Water Buckets Covered
In our school, we always cover the water buckets to keep the water clean:
- We use tight lids or clean cloths to cover the buckets.
- We make sure no insects or dust get into the water.
- Teachers and students help each other check the containers to make sure they are clean.
This way, we don’t let any flies, dirt, or germs spoil our drinking water.
🚽 Clean Toilets and Latrines
To keep water clean at school, we also take care of the toilets and latrines:
- We don’t throw garbage or dirty things in the toilets.
- We make sure the toilets are cleaned regularly so they stay safe and don’t contaminate water.
- We encourage each other to flush toilets properly after use and always wash our hands after using the toilet.
Clean toilets mean clean water and fewer germs!
🧴 Using Water Wisely
We all know that water is precious! At school, we try to use water carefully:
- We don’t leave taps running when we’re done using them.
- We use just enough water to wash our hands or clean our classrooms.
- We encourage everyone to close water taps tightly after use to prevent water waste.
By using water wisely, we make sure there is enough for everyone and keep it clean!
🌱 Protecting Water at School
We also take care of the places where our water comes from. We:
- Don’t pollute our school’s water sources like wells or pipes.
- Help plant trees around the school to keep the environment clean and healthy.
- Keep our school environment free from trash so it doesn’t end up in the water.
By protecting the environment, we are helping to keep the water clean for everyone!
