Can you imagine not having any access to clean water? We take for granted the abundant, immediate and almost infinite availability of WATER. We trust that is clean and safe and use plenty of it. However, in other parts of the world the reality is very different.
A billion people on the planet don’t have any access to clean drinking water. Dirty water is killing more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. Children are especially vulnerable, as their bodies aren't strong enough to fight diarrhea, dysentery and other illnesses.
In September 2010, Germán cycled from London to Penzance, the most western part of the UK in a 310 miles journey to raise funds for building water wells in Africa. María V. in USA and Pablo in The Netherlands are organizing activities and engaging other people to support this cause, building our first water well in Africa.
100% of your donation will go directly to a water project: £3,500 will build a freshwater well in a village and provide more than 250 people with clean drinking water. In a year time, you will be able to see the exact geographical position of the well and pictures of it!!!
For this purpose we're supporting Charity:Water.
