The Human Face of Climate Change "Water is Life."

This could not be truer than in the Azawak of West Africa where half a million people have no water for ten months of the year. Only half of the children reach their fifth birthday, and many simply die of thirst. They are the human faces of climate change.

The Wells of Love movement began in 2006 when Montessori students around the world began working together to build a Montessori Well of Love.  The students implement an activity or event to bring awareness and raise funds. They become empowered to be emphatic leaders with caring spirits as they reach out to some of the world’s most vulnerable populations offering stability, life and hope.

With the help of these Heroes, Amman Imman is constructing borehole wells across the Azawak region.   These Oases of Life make it possible for schools to be built, agricultural, reforestation and environmental protection programs to be developed, and food and health aid to be delivered.Montessori students build a Well of Love
