A Kemptville man is working to bring clean water to over 1,000 school children in East Africa.
Earlier this week, the Ryan’s Well Foundation announced it is partnering with Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief (CPAR) to launch the Green Schools Project, which aims to bring water, sanitation and hygiene to students in Malawi.
Founder of the foundation Ryan Hreljac has been working with CPAR for 22 years, and in that time, they’ve been able to provide clean water to 1.1 million people.

But lasting change depends on brave advocates, some of whom even put their lives on the line, leading the charge.

A year ago, Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate joined me and three other European activists at a press conference in Davos. We were there to hold the leaders gathered at the World Economic Forum accountable for their continued lack of action on the climate crisis.
