Small Change For Change

We are very excited to announce that our first lot of clean water projects have been completed! We would like to thank everyone who has supported Small Change for Change in any way, whether that be filling up bottles with loose change, volunteering for fundraisers, counting epic amounts of coins, labelling and distributing bottles or talking to your families and friends about the dirty water crisis. You should feel proud that your actions have changed the lives of many. We are grateful for your support and hope that you'll join us in the next stage of the journey.

“Sometimes the litany of what is wrong makes us think that there’s nothing we can do about it.”

This evening I attended a lecture entitled ‘Women, Water and Technology’ given by Dr Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO of The Global Fund for Women. Dr Kanyoro shared stories of her childhood in Kenya, walking three miles as a 6 year-old to get water before school. She spoke of the many hours women and girls across the world spend collecting water each day and how this time could be spent at school or work. Dr Kanyoro spoke of simple solutions: she reminded us that water changes everything.

I’m thankful for the women of the world and I know that we can look beyond the "litany of what is wrong" in order to bring clean water to some of the world's poorest people. Little by little, we will create change.

Thanks for working with us.
Sharon, SCFC team.

An important reminder. Every little bit counts.

Students at St Andrew's School in Walkerville bottled $819.70 of small change in 2012. Thanks for using your small change to create big change! The SCFC team.

In 2012, year 5/6 students at Vale Park Primary School raised an amazing $658.15 for clean water in Africa. Well done and thank you!

This morning we went to Vale Park Primary School to talk about the dirty water crisis and the kinds of action we can take to change the situation for those without access to clean water. We were so encouraged to meet inquisitive young people who are keen to make a difference. A room full of future leaders and world changers!

Keep adding coins to your small change bottle; as the Kenyan proverb says: little by little fills up the bowl.

Today the team was busy printing and folding information for our school's pack. We're working toward getting more schools to partner with us in being part of the solution. It's busy work!

People are already bringing back full bottles of change! Thanks for being a part of the solution, you're contributing to something BIG with your small change.

Being a very keen volunteer - offering to put his feet in muddy water to illustrate a point!
