Educating
Title:towards a sustainable future
Subtitlu:
Since 2000, the Swarovski Waterschool has educated children and communities on sustainable water use, helping to safeguard the availability of clean water and support the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. In India, this program is especially crucial as the country is experiencing a water crisis due to changing weather patterns, repeated droughts, and an over-extraction of groundwater.
To help solve this water crisis and to reach out to more students, Swarovski Waterschool and its implementing partner WWF India have teamed up with Mission Paani, a nationwide initiative focused on protecting India’s water resources and changing attitudes and behaviors to improve the efficiency of water use. Swarovski Waterschool is providing its local Waterschool curriculum to Mission Paani to be shared in thousands of schools across India to educate children about their relationship with the environment, specifically water, and how human behaviors have both negative and positive impacts on the natural world. By encouraging students to understand the water-related problems facing environments like wetlands and rivers, and how this effects their communities, they can begin to adopt sustainable habits that could become the norm for future generations.
“We need to make people and children understand that water is a precious element.”
– Ravi Singh, Secretary General and CEO of WWF India

Water School（水の学校）
Title:モデル村
Subtitlu:
インドのスワロフスキーWater Schoolは、モデル村の支援にも力を注いでいます。すでに10のモデル村が本プロジェクトに参加しており、生徒だけでなく、地域の農家の人々にも教育が提供されています。800人以上の農家の人々を対象に、水資源の節約方法や、農地での水の無駄遣いや有害な化学物質（農薬や肥料など）の使用を削減するための衛生管理、持続可能な農法についての研修が行われました。本研修の目的は、持続可能な農法が環境に良いだけでなく、より豊かな農作物の収穫につながることを農家の人々に知ってもらうことです。
スワロフスキーWater Schoolは、各モデル村で水と衛生の改善にも取り組み、村の重要な水源である手押しポンプの修理や、液体や水の無駄を削減するためのソークピットの建設も行いました。これらの取り組みにより、1,500世帯の飲料水が改善されました。
スワロフスキーWater Schoolは、インドの学生や農家の人々との継続的な活動を通じて、同国の水危機を打開し、将来の世代により健康的で持続可能な環境を提供したいと考えています。
