Discover Rural Ghana: Clean Water

Presentation Overview:
This presentation begins by meeting rural communities in Northern Ghana and learning how to speak Dagbani. Students learn about rural life, education, farming, hunger, collecting water and how communities are working together to survive and thrive. Students will also learn about how families collect water and about the importance of clean water for communities. At the end of the presentation, students will learn about ways they can get involved through our Gifts That Matter campaign, Kids Helping Kids Around the World Event, or our Show What You Know Media Literacy contest.

Timing:
For Grades 1-3, if we are speaking to a large group approximately 20-30 minutes is best. For individual classroom presentations, 30-50 minutes will allow more time for questions and answers.

For Grades 4-6, 35-45 minutes is ideal for large groups, and 40-60 minutes for small groups. It will allow more time to look deeper at the issues and for questions and answers. If your presentation is for one class, we may have time to also do an activity with your class.

For Grades 7-10, a minimum of 45 minutes will make for the most rewarding experience for your students. As the presentation length increases up to 75 minutes, our global educators will be able to facilitate a hands-on activity and respond to more of your students’ questions.

For Grades 11-12, please see the World Food Crisis and Global Environmental Change sections for presentations that are designed for your grade levels.

CHF's presentations also help you to meet your curriculum objectives. See how by viewing the following curriculum documents: Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6 or Grades 7-10.

The real game of survivor

Beyond disaster relief

“Something that my classmates and I agreed was interesting was that CHF doesn’t just throw money or supplies at people in need, you also teach them how to become self-sufficient and not only that, but you give them a sense of pride and worth. Every single person on this planet, rich or poor, deserves that….Thank you for reminding all of us of that.”
