Water changes
everything.
Our first campaign. £5,000 to help bring safe, clean water to a community that does not have it.
Clean water changes daily life.
Safe water means fewer journeys to collect it, less risk of illness, and more time for school, work and family.
2.1 billion
people, one in four of us, still have no safe drinking water at home.
200 million hours
are spent by women and girls every single day, carrying water home.
106 million
people drink straight from rivers, lakes and ponds, untreated, often shared with animals.
Over 1,000
children under five die every day from illness linked to unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene.
About 4 to 1
is what safe water and sanitation return: every pound invested comes back around four times in health and time.
One source, many ripples.
Water close to home changes far more than thirst.
Fewer people fall ill
Safe water cuts the stomach illness that keeps children out of school and parents out of work.
Hours come back
When water is close to home, the time spent fetching it can go to school, work and rest.
The weight is shared
In 7 of 10 households without water at home, women and girls are the ones who fetch it.
Families plan ahead
Reliable water helps families grow food, keep animals and earn a living.
How it will work
Partner with people who know water
We intend to work with established, reputable organisations and trusted local partners who have delivered sustainable water projects before.
Fund what lasts
Sustainable sources, maintenance and local ownership, so the water keeps flowing long after the ribbon is cut.
Show you where it went
As the project moves forward we will publish updates, photographs and reports here, so every donor can see the impact.
A first step towards water that lasts.
Our first international campaign will support a sustainable clean water project, delivered through experienced local partners.
