Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.I will be taking part in a 2 mile open water swim in July to raise money for WaterAid. I will be aiming for around 65/70 minutes!

The global water, sanitation and hygiene crisis. Access to safe water and toilets is recognised as a universal human right, yet:

  • 748 million people still don't have clean, safe water;
  • 2.5 billion people have nowhere safe or hygienic to go to the toilet;
  • More than 1,400 children die every single day from diarrhoeal diseases - diseases which could be prevented with access to a safe water supply, good hygiene and a proper toilet. 

Some examples of how your donation could be used:

  • £5 could pay for a bag of cement to build a latrine slab in Ghana
  • £15 is enough to give one person a lasting supply of safe water, sanitation and hygiene education;
  • £20 could pay to train a hygiene promoter for five days in Tanzania;
  • £50 is enough for two days of hygiene education training in a village in Tanzania.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you!
