The fifth-grade girls in Junior Girl Scout Troop 45957 spent their summer break crocheting for clean water. international nonprofit to make yarn loops. These loops attach important syringes to water buckets that are used to filter clean, drinkable water for those in need. Without the syringes, the filters would break down in weeks.
Altogether, the girls spent over two months crocheting 1,500 loops—some created during long plane rides to visit family in India. The troop says, “We believe that access to clean water is a basic human right. We want to help prevent waterborne diseases, because water is a luxury for some people.” These girls are making the world a better place!
