Why the focus on Water?
Without water there is no life. The world’s fresh water is under threat. We are calling on Water Explorers around the world to make every drop count - filling our future with water for all.

What is Water Explorer?
Water Explorer is a fun, inspiring and educational programme that empowers thousands of students across the world to lead joint action on water issues for their schools and communities. Water Explorer is fully funded and supported in 11 countries and is free to all schools and groups taking part. Top Water Explorer teams could earn the chance to represent their country at the Water Explorer International celebration event in London. 

What do Water Explorers achieve?
Water Explorer supports 8 -14 year olds on a student-led mission to rescue our waterful world. Water Explorers are supported to:

• Complete water-based challenges on key water issues
• Collaborate with other students across the world
• Hold community water festivals and win points and prizes
• Develop a range of transferable knowledge and skills

What impact will Water Explorer have?
