Arizona Water Activists Karing for the Environment (AWAKE)
We believe that it is inexcusable to waste water in the arid Arizona desert. We created these project goals: spread awareness about water conservation, sanitation, and provide access to potable water.
We held booths at local events, spreading awareness about water conservation to more than 6000 people. We tested local lakes and reclaimed water ponds for contaminants, ran petition drives. Furthermore, we organized annual walk-a-thons, raising money to build reverse-osmosis systems and rain water harvesting systems to impact 3,150 Indian kids. These activities have aided our cause in helping our local and global community.
