Inspiring young changemakers through story and service.

Schools & Communities: Partner in Purpose

We invite educators and community leaders to use The Water Princess and Georgie’s journey to spark learning, empathy, and action. Inspire students to become changemakers through service-learning, entrepreneurship, and fundraising that directly supports clean water and opportunity in Burkina Faso.

At the heart of our youth program is The Water Princess. This is Georgie’s childhood story of resilience and hope. Through this beautifully illustrated book, currently available in 8 languages, we spark conversations about global water challenges and the power of individual action.

Designed for students up to 5th grade, our school-based initiative uses storytelling to engage discussions about empathy, problem-solving, and overcoming obstacles. These activities help children understand the importance of water as a human right while cultivating a sense of global citizenship.

Across the country, from New Jersey to Indiana, student-led entrepreneurial efforts are raising awareness and funds and turning learning into action.

Each partnership becomes a bridge connecting young people in the U.S. with their peers in West Africa. And when a well is built at a school in Burkina Faso, students here can see the real impact of their collective efforts.

Interested in service-learning projects or leading a water awareness campaign with your class, club, or school? Reach out to us at info@georgiebadielfoundation.org.

Children will:

  • learn about why water is so precious
  • think about how they use water each day
  • understand simple ways they can save water at home and school
  • become water ambassadors for the future
