Installed March 2025
In a move aimed at bolstering sustainability and promoting healthy hydration, the Christ Church Girls’ School has become the recipient of a bottle-less water station, courtesy of a partnership between the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Office of the Prime Minister, and the Hydrate Caribbean programme.
The installation, marking the 30th such station in Barbados, was unveiled during a lively morning assembly, where students listened attentively as officials underscored the importance of the initiative.
Carina Cockburn, Head of IDB Barbados, while addressing the students, underscored the importance of water consumption for overall health and well-being.
“Drinking water is very important. We need it to stay hydrated and go to school, learn, run, and do all the important things that we do at school. This is why we have this station installed. You will be able to use reusable thermoses at the Hydration Station. It’s important because it means we don’t have to use plastic bottles. Plastic bottles create garbage and waste, which we have to clean up and recycle later on,” she explained.
