2. PROJECT BACKGROUND
Qatar Independent Secondary School/ Doha – Qatar
participated in a virtual exchange program hosted by
Global Nomads Group. As part of the program, our
school collaborated with Lindblom Math & Science
Academy, Chicago - Illinois to develop solutions to the
challenges our communities face.
We decided to address the problem of Misuse of Water
& Electricity
To do this, we created a school Exhibit, a video and
distributed some flyers.

4. MISUSE OF WATER &
ELECTRICITY1. Why is the project important to you and your
community?
Qatar may have the highest rate of water consumption per person in
the world, at 430 liters a day. It’s yet another superlative to add to the
list, alongside world’s highest per capita carbon footprint and world’s
richest country per capita.
2. What did you hope to achieve through this project?
To create awareness and take some actions towards conserving water
& electricity.
3.How it will address the problem?
It would enable to change some habits & malpractices and create a
general consciousness towards creating a sustainable environment
for future generations by saving the excess usage of water &
